CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: @entity1467 is the most common @entity74 , affecting 1/700 live births. Among the clinical findings, one constant concern is the high prevalence of @entity299 . The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and profile of @entity299 among @entity1 attended at a @entity1467 outpatient clinic in southern Brazil between 2005 and 2013. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study conducted in a referral center. METHODS: Data were retrospectively gathered from the medical files of 1,207 @entity1 with @entity1467 , among whom 604 (50.0%) had been diagnosed with @entity299 . These data were subjected to descriptive analysis using the Statistica software. RESULTS: Among the 604 @entity1 with @entity299 , 338 (55.8%) were male and 269 (44.5%) were female. The most common @entity299 were @entity118 in 254 @entity1 (42.1%); total @entity474 in 91 (15.1%); @entity118 and @entity1757 in 88 (14.6%); @entity1757 in 77 (12.7%); patent ductus arteriosus in 40 (6.6%); @entity4616 in 34 (5.6%) @entity1 ; tetralogy of Fallot in 12 (2%); and other diseases in 8 (1.3%). @entity120 was present in 57 (9.4%). Out of the total, 150 @entity1 (24.8%) underwent cardiac surgery. CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of @entity299 among the @entity1 at the @entity1467 outpatient clinic (50%) was similar to findings from other studies and justifies investigation during the neonatal period, so as to decrease mortality and morbidity.
