Impact of a Standardised Fetal Cardiac Screening Programme on Antenatal Detection Rates of Transposition of the Great Arteries
Rates of antenatal diagnosis of d-TGA in Queensland compare favourably with internationally published rates, although difficulty in consistently diagnosing this congenital heart defect remains. A targeted educational programme of sonographers performing antenatal screening, particularly in regional areas, appears to increase rates of prenatal diagnosis and improve outcomes.
