“…Chaturvedi and Banerjee [10] studied rural population of Maharashtra and found that the most common system involved was musculoskeletal (23.65%), followed by CNS (16.12%) and GIT (13.97%). Basavanthappa et al [11] found that musculoskeletal malformations were the commonest malformation and accounted for 27.5% of all the malformations in a hospital of South India. This was followed by cutaneous 19.16%, genitourinary 15.83%, gastrointestinal 12.5%, neurological 10%, and cardiac malformations 5.83%.…”

Introduction. Congenital anomalies are important causes of childhood death, chronic illness, and disability in many countries. Congenital malformations are rapidly emerging as one of the major worldwide problems. Aim. To study the percentage of various congenital anomalies among the patients admitted in Department of Pediatric Surgery at a tertiary care centre over a period of four years from 2011 to 2015 in our centre. Results. Neural tube defects were found to be the most common anomalies in 24.3% of the children admitted. Other common anomalies were anorectal malformation (20.7%), tracheoesophageal fistula (20%), and intestinal obstruction (14.84%). Majority (60.5%) of the patients were males. Conclusion. Congenital malformations are rapidly emerging as one of the major worldwide problems as they can result in long-term disability, which may have significant impacts on individuals, families, health-care systems, and societies. Regular antenatal visits and prenatal diagnosis are recommended for prevention, early intervention, and even planned termination, when needed.

“…The burden of birth defects has been described extensively in recent years worldwide 4,[6][7][8][9][10][11] . However, there is a paucity of recent literature in India as most of the published reports are more than 5 years old 5,[12][13][14] .…”

Introduction: The global estimates of congenital anomalies in neonates are 6% and few of them are severe enough to cause death. According to World Health Organization (WHO), congenital anomalies attribute to 17-42% of the infant mortality. Apart from causing death, they also contribute to preterm births, childhood and adult mortality, with significant repercussions in families. With the advancement of technology, there has been a decrease in the number of deaths due to other causes and there has been an increasing concern about congenital anomalies. This calls for an inquiry into the recent burden of congenital anomalies and their associated risk factors. Hence, the study was carried out. Objectives: 1. To assess the frequency and pattern of congenital anomalies. 2. To determine the factors associated with congenital anomalies. Materials & methods: This is an observational study which included all live born neonates with congenital anomaly/ies admitted to R L Jalappa Hospital (RLJH) and still born neonates or aborti with congenital anomaly/ies delivered in RLJH during the study period. A detailed history of the study participants was taken, and all the anomalies were coded as per the ICD coding system. For still born babies, aborti and neonatal deaths, infantogram, gross autopsy and histopathological examination findings were noted. Statistical analysis: Data was analysed using “Microsoft excel sheet” and the analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-16) software. Significance was defined as p<0.05. Results: Our hospital had 2,400 deliveries during the study period, out of which the frequency of congenital anomalies was 1.3%. As per the associated risk factors, 66.6% of the babies had no associated risk factors while the remaining 33.4% of the babies had an associated risk factor. Most commonly seen risk factor in the study was 3rd degree consanguinity (11.1%). As per the system involved, Musculoskeletal system involvement was seen in the majority (63.9%) of the neonates, followed by Cardiovascular system in 11.1%, Central Nervous System (CNS) in 8.3%, Genital system in 8.3%, Lymphatic system in 5.6%, Gastrointestinal system in 2.8%, Cutaneous in 2.8%, Oral cavity in 2.8% and syndromic anomaly in 2.8%. Conclusion: The prevalence of congenital anomalies is considerably high and increasing the awareness to prevent them is the need of the hour. Appropriate consideration should be given to reducing the risk factors and genetic counseling should be provided to parents with high risk.
