Abstract
This study aimed to find out the incidence of postnatal congenital anamolies and to find out incidence of various congenital anomalies in still birth. Preterm delivery among 9.4% of the cases and term delivery among 90.6% of the cases. Based on the birth, live birth was recorded among 99.5% of the participants while 0.5% still birth was recorded in our study. Birth weight was found to be VLBW, LBW and normal among 0.9%, 3.8% and 95.3% of the babies. In this recent study congenital malformation was noted among 2.1% of the newborns., however 97.9% of the newborns had no congenital malformations. On assessing the number of congenital malformations multiple malformations was noted among 0.2% of the babies, single malformation among 1.9% of the babies. Nervous system was involved among 11.1% of the babies, Circulatory system among 15.3% of the babies, musculoskeletal system involved among 19.4% newborns while GIT and Genito‐Urinary system malformation was found among 20.8% and 27.8% of the cases respectively. Among 5.6% of the cases other system was involved in this present study. With respect to nervous system involvement 37.5%, 25%, 25% and 12.5% newborns had hydrocephalous, myelomeningeocele, closed sacral spina Bifida and vermian agenesis respectively. Similarly Congenital Anomalies (CA) in the circulatory system was noted to be ASD, TOF, Ectopiacordis, other cardiac anomalies and Single UA among 27.3%, 36.4%, 9.1%, 18.2% and 9.1% in this study respectively. Musculoskeletal anomalies was found to be Congenital Dislocation of Hip, Talipesequinovarus, OsteogenesisImperfecta, Omphalocele and Diagphrematic hernia among 7.1%, 57.1%, 14.3%, 7.1% and 14.3% of the newborns respectively. In this study 28.8% and 71.2% of the newborns had CA who had previous CA and no CA history respectively. In this study the association between participants with CA and without CA based on previous CA in their newborns was statistically significant with p value noted as <0.0001. Among CA cases 21.2% were stillbirth and 77.3% are live birth. Among cases with CA 18.2%, 53% and 28.8% of the babies were VLBW, LBW and normal respectively while among babies without CA 0.6%, 2.7% and 96.7% were VLBW, LBW and normal respectively. The association between newborns with and without CA based on birth weight was statistically significant (p value=<0.0001). The mean birth weight of babies born with CA was 1236.7±257.5gms while the mean birth weight of babies born with no CA was 2654.1±351.8gms. There was significant difference noted for birth weight between the babies born with and without CA (p=<0.00010).
