Figure 1
Frequency of (a) cardiac failure requiring treatment and (b) hypothyroidism requiring treatment demonstrating cases with fewer than five infantile haemangiomas (IH) in both groups who would not be detected by current recommendations for screening; (c) percentage of cases of cardiac failure requiring treatment by grouped number of cutaneous IH, demonstrating lack of significance between 1–4 and 5–9 IH, but a significant difference between 1–9 and 10 or more (P < 0·001, two‐way Fisher’s exact test). NS, not significant.
