| Abstract |
|
Modem medical science has been developed advanced rapidly in the past years, but congenital
anomalies are known as a major cause of neonatal death.
So, we studied the incidence of congenital malformations among 11,119 babies deliveried or
admitted at EWUH during a period of five years starting from June 1983.
The results were as follows:
1) The incidence of congenital malformations among 11,119 deliveries was 1.5%(1.5% among live
births and 2.8% among still births).
2) The incidence of congenital malformations was 1.7% for male and 1.3% for female.
3) The incidence of congenital malformations among the babies, below 32 weeks was 4.2%, and 7.
6% among the babies, between 32 weeks and 36 weeks, 1.2% among the babies, between 37 weeks and
41 weeks and 3.6% among the babies, over 42 weeks.
4) The incidence of congenital malformations among the babies, below 2,500 g of birth weight was
5.5%, between 2,500g and 3,999g was 1.2% and over 4,000g was 1.5%.
5) The incidence of congenital malformations among the babies below 3 of the number of parity
was 0.2% and 29.4% among the babies, over 3 of the number of parity.
6) 4.4% of babies born to mothers younger than 20 years of age had malformations, mothers aged
between 20 and 34 years delivered anomalous babies in 1.4% and older than 35 years delivered
anomalous babies in 3.4%.
7) The incidence of congenital malformations among the babies whoes Apgar score was between
0 and 3 was 24.1%, 3.2% among the babies whoes Apgar score was between 4 and 7 and 1.0% among
the babies whoes Apgar score was between 8 and 10.
8) The incidence of malformation was related with multiple pregnancy(p < 0.05).
9) The organs involved were in descending order of froquency: the musculoskeletal, gastrointesti-
nal, cardiovascular, genitourinary, chromosome, central nervous, skin and soft tissue, and the respira-
tory system. |
