Congenital Malformations
DtschArztebl2006;103(38):A2464–71
Major birth defects are diagnosed in every 15th infant, affecting about 49.000 in- fants in Germany each year. The prevention and treatment of congenital malformations are key concerns for child health. Methods: Since 1990 a population based birth registry (Geburten- register Mainzer Modell) has anonymously captured individualized data on all children born in the region of Rheinhessen, including clinical data on pregnancy as well as data on possible en- vironmental exposures. This study presents prevalence, early warning and risk factor data along with selected results, based on the Mainz data. Results: The prevalence of congenital malfor- mations is, at around 6.7 per cent. In 2003 there was a cluster of children with Trisomie 21 (RR = 3.1). Intracytoplasmatic Sperm Injection is associated with an increased prevalence of con- genital malformations (OR = 2,8). Only ten per cent of pregnant women in Germany use pericon- ceptional folate to prevent neural tube defects. Discussion: These examples of epidemiological malformation research demonstrate the necessity and the political and scientific desirability of studies based on valid data from surveillance systems of congenital malformations.
