MARQUEZ-GUERRA, Roberto Rafael; RAMIREZ-DELGADO, Javier Alonso  y  RUIZ-RUIZ, Marcos Fernando. Methods for the Detection of Congenital Heart Disease in Neonates. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2023, vol.34  Epub 15-Jun-2023. ISSN 2307-2113.

Congenital heart disease is one of the most common innate malformations, and early detection is vital. The aim of this study was to characterize the publications on methods for the detection of congenital heart disease in neonates based on three categories: the general characteristics of the investigations, the information provided by the researchers, and the definition and characteristics of the methodologies used. For this purpose, and with the help of MS Excel 16.52 pivot tables and VOSviewer 1.6.17 software, a systematized review was carried out that allowed us to compile 63 articles published between 2010 and 2021 in Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed. The findings evidence that academic production has been increasing since 2018, with the United States being at the forefront of this and echocardiography and oximetry being the most studied procedures. The comparison between the methodologies warns that detection by oximetry is the most outstanding in terms of the factors evaluated. This research opens up new lines of investigation in the field with the aim of developing and applying new methodologies or improving existing ones to meet the needs of the population.
