Analysis of monitoring results of perinatal birth defects in Haizhou District,Lianyungang City from 2017 to 2023
Objective To provide references for improving strategies in preventing birth defects and assessing the ef-fectiveness of interventions in the local community of Haizhou District,Lianyungang City.Methods The study utilized a testing method centered on maternity hospitals,collecting and analyzing data on the occurrence and distribution patterns of birth defects in perinatal infants in Haizhou District,Lianyungang City from January 2017 to October 2023.Results Over the last seven years,a total of 95317 perinatal infants were born in Haizhou District,with 1171 infants exhibiting birth defects.The incidence rate of birth defects was 122.85 per 10000 births.Notably,the incidence rate among the urban population was 130.77 per 10000 births,which was notably higher than 112.75 per 10000 births in the rural population.Similarly,the inci-dence rate for male infants at 131.42 per 10000 births was significantly higher than that for females,which was 112.91 per 10000 births.The age group＜20 years recorded the highest incidence rate(167.77 per 10000 births),followed by those ≥35 years(164.39 per 10000 births).Congenital heart disease consistently maintained its position as the most common birth defect throughout the seven years examined in this study,displaying a fluctuating upward trend,reaching its peak in 2019(82.63 per 10000 births).Conclusion From 2017 to 2023,the incidence rate of birth defects in perinatal infants born in Haizhou District,Lianyungang City remained below the national average.However,a fluctuating upward trend was observed,primarily driven by an increase in the incidence of congenital heart disease.Therefore,the study recommends a concentrated effort on enhanc-ing prenatal screening and diagnostic capabilities,particularly for common birth defects such as congenital heart disease.At the same time,younger mothers(aged＜20)and older mothers(aged ≥ 35)were observed to have relatively higher incidence of birth defects,and health education of birth defects should be reinforced for these age groups.
