  abstract = {Morbidity and mortality due to congenital heart disease was primarily caused by delay in diagnosis. Early screening of neonates at birth identifies congenital heart disease and decreases complications related to delayed diagnosis. To assess delayed in diagnosis of congenital heart disease and associated factors among pediatric patients who were registered in Cardiac Center Ethiopia from January 1, 2018, to December 30, 2020. Institutional based cross-sectional study design was used to assess delayed in diagnosis of congenital heart disease and associated factors among pediatric patients in the cardiac center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and charts were selected using systematic random sampling out of 216 registered congenital heart disease pediatrics patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The data was entered into Epi-data version 3.1 for cleaning and completeness and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis.

Maternal education, place of child delivery, and gestational age were independently associated with the delayed diagnosis of CHD.
