... Although such advances improve survival in infants with CCHD, the mortality rate remains relatively high [8,10,[14][15][16][17][18]. Although there have been few local studies conducted in Turkey that reported high mortality rates for CCHD [19][20][21][22], there is currently no comprehensive national-level study evaluating CCHD mortality and related conditions. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and characteristics of infant mortality attributed to CCHD and to provide evidence for future preventive strategies. ...

Consistent with our study, an experimental study from Turkey found that premature neonates who received nesting care achieved higher oxygen saturation and lower pain levels than those who did not [27]. Our study adds to the previous three studies that nesting care would positively affect the heart rate of premature neonates. ...
