Background
Congenital heart conditions often cause developmental delays and impact neurodevelopment throughout one’s lifetime. Hence, it is crucial to analyze the impact that heart defects have on the developing brain of a child. The present cross-sectional study was undertaken given the paucity of studies on the developmental status in children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) in central India, where we tried to evaluate and compare the prevalence of neurodevelopmental delay in individuals with different congenital cardiac disorders. The objectives of our study were, firstly, to utilize the Denver Developmental Screening Test 2 (DDST-2) to evaluate the neurodevelopmental conditions in children with CHD; secondly, to compare the neurodevelopmental state of children with acyanotic CHD (ACHD) and cyanotic CHD (CCHD); and thirdly, to ascertain the prevalence of developmental delay in children with CHD.
Methodology
The study population comprised children aged six months to six years with two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography confirmation of CHD; those who were critically ill, had genetic syndromes, and were not willing to participate in the study were excluded. The neurodevelopmental assessment was conducted using the DDST-2. The screening looked at each patient’s progress in four areas: personal-social, fine motor-adaptive, language, and gross motor. Based on these observations, results were obtained and interpreted.
Result
Out of 82 children with CHD, the prevalence rate of developmental delay according to the DDST-2 was found to be maximum in the gross motor domain and the least affected in the social domain, which was similar to the analysis of developmental delay by developmental quotient (DQ). The comparative analysis of developmental delay in ACHD and CCHD according to the DDST-2 showed a significant P value only in the gross motor domain.
Conclusion
The DDST-2 is a straightforward screening tool for determining how well-developed infants with CHD are. The gross motor domain is the most frequently damaged in ACHD and CCHD, followed by the fine motor domain, and the social domain is the least affected. Cyanotic CHD patients are more susceptible to developmental delay than children with ACHD.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common disorder affecting a large section of the community. In addition, the numerous complications of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) necessitate adequate diagnosis and treatment of this common entity. Thus, to analyze the spectrum of GERD on the basis of symptoms and endoscopic findings along with the contributory effects of various risk factors including obesity, this specific study has been carried out.
Study design
A descriptive type of observational study was conducted on the patients visiting the outpatient department (OPD) at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), affiliated with Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences (DMIMS), Wardha, Maharashtra. The clinical symptoms, suspected risk factors, and endoscopic findings of the patients were studied, assessed, and correlated.
Methods and material
Patients, more than 18 years of age complaining of a minimum of two typical symptoms of GERD for at least one month, were included in the study. Demographic data, clinical symptomatology, and personal history of the patients were noted. All the patients were subjected to esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and findings were recorded. Correlation and analysis were done on clinical and endoscopic findings.
Statistical analysis
This descriptive study has been conducted after the approval of the Ethics Committee Department of Medical Education, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Deemed University, Sawangi (DMIMS(DU)/IEC/Sept-2019/8403). The outcomes were recorded and analyzed at the end of the study using a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet (version 16.40, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington, USA).
Results and conclusion
A total of 100 patients were included in the study. A number of male patients (58%) were more than that of female patients. Most of the patients were in the age group of 30-60 years (70%). The most common symptoms were epigastric pain (78%), regurgitation (71%), and heartburn (63%). Forty-five percent of the patients had erosive lesions suggestive of reflux esophagitis on endoscopic evaluation.
