Abstract
According to WHO Congenital anomalies are defined as structural or functional anomalies, including metabolic disorders which are present at the time of birth. Congenital anomalies are a major health problem accounting for 8‐15% of perinatal deaths and 13‐16% of neonatal deaths in India. To determine the incidence of fetal anomalies at Medical College Hospital Kolkata and to study the various fetal anomalies in the new‐borns in relation to their patterns distribution and associated perinatal factors It was a Prospective Cross Sectional, Hospital Based Study from 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2021 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Eden Hospital, Medical College, Kolkata. In our study, 124(49.6%) patients had Anaemia, 25(10%) patients had Hypertension, 6(2.4%) patients had Hypothyroidism, 6(2.4%) patients had diabetes or GDM, 9(3.6%) patients had Febrile illness during pregnancy, 5(2.0%) patients had H/O consanguineous marriage, 2(0.8%) patients had Exposure to alcohol and 4(1.6%) patient had Family H/O birth defects. The value of z is 13.4609. The value of p is <.00001. The result is significant at p<.05. This study highlights the significant impact of maternal risk factors, such as age, medical conditions and lifestyle, on fetal anomalies. Early surveillance and screening are essential for detecting abnormalities in high‐risk pregnancies. Tailored prenatal care, improved diagnostic methods and on‐going research are crucial for better maternal and fetal health outcomes.
