Structure of congenital malformations in newborns

Abstract

The case histories of 71 newborns with congenital malformations were analyzed according to the materials of the Children's Clinical Hospital for 1984-1985.
In the morbidity structure of newborns, children with developmental abnormalities accounted for 3.1% in 1984. In 1985, the figure was 6.6% (43 of 655 patients). Newborns with congenital malformations were hospitalized for acute respiratory diseases and pneumonia (53) and for natal trauma of the central nervous system (18). 80% of the children were admitted to the hospital directly from maternity hospitals, predominantly in the 2nd week of life, and 20% were admitted from the pediatric area. There were 58 preterm infants and 13 premature infants (30 girls and 41 boys).
