Overview

Matched case-control study finds congenital anomalies, including cardiac malformations and chromosomal defects, linked to maternal age and inadequate antenatal care.

Key Points

  • Cardiac malformations were the most common congenital anomalies (26.6%) in children under one year.
  • Risk factors for congenital anomalies included inadequate antenatal care and consanguineous parents, revealing strong correlations.
  • Matched case-control study conducted with 150 cases of congenital anomalies and 150 controls from Sohag Governorate hospitals.
  • Highlights the importance of healthcare accessibility for pregnant women to potentially reduce congenital anomalies.
