Abstract

History & Objective: Neural tube defects (NTD) resulting from failure of neural closure during early embryogenesis can lead to a spectrum of cranial and spinal defects. While PREVALENCE of these anomalies is decreasing in developed countries, no reliable data is available with respect to the PREVALENCE of NTD in KERMANSHAH. This study was designed to determine the PREVALENCE of NTD among babies who were born between 1997 and 1998 at Motazedi Maternity Hospital in KERMANSHAH. Materials & Methods: Diagnosis of malformation was done through clinical examination of the babies by a pediatrician. The data of this descriptive analytical research was obtained from the existing files at the hospital. The data included information about sex and vital signs of the baby, mother's age and her residence; time and kind of delivery, history of diabetes, abortion and gravida. Statistical analysis of the collected data by X2-test showed 65 of 9769 babies who were born during 1997 and 1998 suffered from NTD (i.e. NTD PREVALENCE in alive and still-births was 6.7 per 1000). Results: This study revealed the highest PREVALENCE of NTD was 8.9% and in fall. 43% of NTD cases were still-born. Female to male ratio for ANENCEPHALY was 3.9% but this ratio with respect to other anomalies was 1.4%. Discussion: Since the result of this study is not congruent with other studies done in Iran, further studies 'are required to gain a better understanding of the PREVALENCE of NTD.
