N2 - Objectives To analyse the outcomes of fetuses with congenital heart disease between 2000 and 2005 in comparison to a previous multicentre study regarding the period 1983-1996. Participants and methods Data of seven centres were prospectively collected, the inclusion criteria being a confirmed fetal diagnosis after birth or at autopsy and a known follow-up, for at least 6 months after birth. Data of 649 fetuses, median age at diagnosis 24 weeks' gestation (15-37), 340/649 (52.4%) diagnosed before 24 weeks, were analysed. Results Sixty seven and 59 cases had chromosomal or extracardiac anomalies (10.3 and 9.1%). Termination of pregnancy was chosen in 21.6% of cases versus 28.9% in the previous study, being significantly lower in cases with early diagnosis (P
