Abstract
Introduction: Congenital anomalies (CA) can be defined as structural or functional abnormalities including metabolic disorders, present at birth, Birth defects are a diverse group of disorders of prenatal origin that can be caused by single gene defects, chromosomal disorders.
Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence and pattern of congenital abnormalities in neonates, as well as the maternal and perinatal associated risk factors.
Method and materials: A cross-sectional study of newborns and stillborn babies delivered at Al-batool Teaching hospital between January 2022 and march 2022. Data was collected using a structured form that was divided into two parts. first set of variables collected were about maternal characteristics, the second section discussed neonatal characteristics.
Result: The result we collect about maternal age of <35 and >35 (18,8% vs 81,2%) and the sex of infant (male 54.5% vs female 45.5%) and weight of infant >2.5kg and <2.5kg (69.3% vs 30.3%) and the gestational age >37 or <37(96.97% vs 3%) (P≤0.01), Inter-pregnancy interval >2 years and <2 years (39.39% vs 18.18 vs non (first birth).
Conclusion: Congenital malformations were associated with maternal age greater than 35 years, and the sex of the infant, birth order greater than 3, birth weight less than 2.5 kg, whereas iron folate consumption before and/or during early pregnancy, were protective against congenital anomalies.
