Abstract：
This document has been developed to provide a guide for basic and advanced reporting in paediatric echocardiography. Furthermore, it aims to help clinicians in the interpretation of echocardiographic measurements and functional data for estimating the severity of disease in different paediatric age groups. The following topics will be reviewed and discussed in the present document: (i) the general principle in constructing a paediatric echocardiographic report, (ii) the basic elements to be included, and (iii) the potential and limitation of currently employed tools used for disease severity quantification during paediatric reporting. A guide for the interpretation of Z-scores will be provided. Use and interpretation of parameters employed for quantification of ventricular systolic function will be discussed. Difficulties in the adoption of adult parameters for the study of diastolic function and valve defects at different ages and pressure and loading conditions will be outlined, with pitfalls for the assessment listed. A guide for careful use of prediction scores for complex congenital heart disease will be provided. Examples of basic and advanced (disease-specific) formats for reporting in paediatric echocardiography will be provided. This document should serve as a comprehensive guide to (i) structure a comprehensive paediatric echocardiographic report; (ii) identify the basic morphological details, measures, and functional parameters to be included during echocardiographic reporting; and (iii) correctly interpret measurements and functional data for estimating disease severity.
摘要：
本文件旨在为儿科超声心动图的基本和高级报告提供指导。此外，它的目的是帮助临床医生解释超声心动图测量和功能数据，以估计不同年龄段儿童疾病的严重程度。以下主题将在本文件中进行审查和讨论：i）构建儿科超声心动图报告的一般原则，ii)要包括的基本要素，iii）儿科报告期间用于疾病严重程度量化的当前使用的工具的潜力和局限性。将提供Z分数解释指南。将讨论用于量化心室收缩功能的参数的使用和解释。采用成人参数研究不同年龄的舒张功能和瓣膜缺损的困难，将概述压力和负载条件，列出了评估的陷阱。将提供仔细使用复杂先天性心脏病预测评分的指南。将提供儿科超声心动图报告的基本和高级（疾病特异性）格式的示例。本文件应作为全面的指南，以i）构建全面的儿科超声心动图报告，ii)识别基本的形态学细节，措施，和超声心动图报告期间要包括的功能参数，和iii)正确解释用于估计疾病严重程度的测量和功能数据。
