Abstract: Objective To establish a system of the screening, evaluation and intervention of congenital heart disease (CHD) in China. Methods All infants (16070) born in Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from May 1st 2011 to April 30th 2013 were screened for CHD. The infants with CHD were followed up till 1 year of age. Results One hundred and three infants were diagnosed with CHD, and the incidence rate was 0.641%. The top three CHD types in incidences were VSD (0.205%), PDA (0.174%) and ASD (0.10%), respectively. In these infants, 94 cases were followed-up and 9 cases were lost. The incidence of small gapped VSD, ASD and premature PDA were high. Some infants with serious CHD were subjected to surgery, and others were still followed up. Conclusions The incidence of CHD in Changzhou is comparable with that in the whole country. The follow-up can improve the life quality of CHD infants.
