Notably, the decline in mortality was more pronounced in younger children, with the highest burden observed in the Low socio-demographic index (SDI) region, where CHD-related mortality rates remain disproportionately high. In contrast, the high SDI region experienced the greatest improvements in mortality reduction. Regional disparities are also evident, with South Asia bearing the highest number of CHD-related deaths, while Oceania exhibited the highest mortality rate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These trends underscore the need for continued global efforts to reduce CHD-related mortality, particularly in low-income regions, and to address the disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. Our findings highlight the ongoing challenges in pediatric cardiology and the need for targeted interventions to sustain improvements in CHD survival, especially for neonates and infants.<\/jats:p>\n
