Maternal obesity and metabolic disorders associate with congenital heart defects in the offspring: A systematic review.

<h4>Background</h4>Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common congenital malformations. The aetiology of CHDs is complex. Large cohort studies and systematic reviews and meta-analyses based on these have reported an association between higher risk of CHDs in the offspring and in...
