Comparing hypocalcemia age of onset with congenital heart defects
| Hypocalcemia age of onset | CHD grade (n = 343) Severe CHD |
Mild CHD | None (n = 123) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neonatal period (n = 197) (0–1 month old) | 113 (57.36%) | 45 (22.84%) | 39 (19.80%) |
| Infancy (n = 84) (up to 1 year old) | 36 (42.86%) | 34 (40.48%) | 14 (16.67%) |
| Childhood (n = 97) (1–12 year old) | 28 (28.87%) | 32 (32.99%) | 37 (38.14%) |
| Adolescence (n = 33) (13–17 year old) | 12 (36.36%) | 9 (27.27%) | 12 (36.36%) |
| Adulthood (n = 32) (older than 17 year) | 10 (31.25%) | 8 (25.00%) | 14 (43.75%) |
| Unknown (n = 23) | 9 (39.13%) | 7 (30.43%) | 7 (30.43%) |
Severe CHD = Tetralogy of Fallot, interrupted aortic arch, or truncus arteriosus. Mild CHD = any other CHD. Pearson’s chi-squared test, χ2 = 37.8, p < .0001.
