Downloads
This hospital based prospective study highlights the point prevalence of congenital malformations over a period of 6months. Over all incidence calculated is 2.2%. Malformations more in females (F: M=1.2:1), and in neonates ofyounger mothers 18-21 years. The pattern included CNS 28.5%, CVS 24.6%, GIT14.2%, musculoskeletal 11.6%,multiple congenital anomalies 9.8%, chromosomal anomaly 7.7%, and Genitourinary 2.4%, RS 1.2%. In CNS,meningomyelocele was the most common malformation. Frequency is more in term than in preterm (1.7% vs. 0.5%),vaginal delivery than LSCS (1.35 VS 0.9 %.) The present study stresses upon the importance of thorough clinicalexamination of neonate at birth and encourage routine neonatal screening for malformations during NB period.
