Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Diagnostic concordance between simple NPE algorithm and pediatric cardiologist in ruling out critical congenital heart disease in neonatesTimepoint: Echo will be reviewed by cardiologist at 6 hours if baby is sick and 24 hours if baby is stable

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The time needed to complete all seven views in the proposed algorithm for ruling out critical congenital heart disease. Proportion of infants diagnosed with any other heart disease other than critical congenital heart disease during the examination. Agreement between neonatology resident, neonatology consultant & paediatric cardiologist in various views & structures & for ruling out critical congenital heart disease Proportion of infants in whom images & videos were inconclusive to rule out CCHD & required repeat sonography by cardiologist.Timepoint: Cardiologist will review the echo at 6 hours if baby is sick & at 24 hours if baby is stable Time taken to complete echo will be noted by other resident or nursing staff
