Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Incidence of congenital anomalies differs from country to country and from region to region within same country. The factors associated with the congenital anomalies vary from place to place. The outcome of congenital anomalies depends upon type and number of anomalies. Aims and objectives: to study the various types of congenital anomalies, its outcome and associated factors. Materials and method: All the live born and still born babies born in the GMC Latur were observed meticulously to diagnose congenital anomalies. Birth weight, gestational age at the time of delivery and sex of the neonates was recorded on a prestructured proforma. Also the type (major and minor) and number of congenital anomalies per case were recorded. System wise classification was also done. The outcome of the in neonates in the form of death, referred and discharged was noted. Results: incidence of congenital anomalies was found to be 43.03 per 1000.Prematurity (12.28%) and low birth weight (2.96%) was found to be associated with increased risk of congenital anomalies. Males (4.87%) are found to be more affected than females (3.73%). The most common system involved was Central nervous system (32.35%). Mortality was seen in 22.86% cases whereas 35.69% cases were discharged. Conclusion: Incidence of congenital anomalies was 43.03 per 1000 births. It was seen most commonly in low birth weight, preterm and male neonates. The most common system involved was Central nervous system (14.96 per 1000). Major anomalies (63.88%) contributed in a greater extent to the total incidence.
