Pages

  733-743

Abstract

 Background: CONGENITAL ANOMALIES are considered as main causes of disability and mortality among children in developingand developed countries. Expenditures of hospitalization and treatment procedures for these children imposea large burden on health system and their families. This study aimed to review the PREVALENCE of CONGENITAL ANOMALIES among infants in IRAN.Methods: The review of studies was conducted through searching databases including IRAN Medex, SID, Magiran, Scopus, and PubMed. Descriptive and cross-sectional studies investigating on the PREVALENCE of CONGENITAL ANOMALIESamong infants were included into the study. Hand search for some related journals and websites was done. The list of studies' references was reviewed. The data were analyzed using the CMA 2 software.Results: Of 455 studies, 27 studies were included into the META-ANALYSIS study. The studies were conducted between1992 and 2014.The overall PREVALENCE of CONGENITAL ANOMALIES among infants was estimated to be 2.3%. The overallprevalence rates, in terms of gender, were estimated to be 3% in boys and 2% in girls. While the highest PREVALENCErates were related to musculoskeletal anomalies (27.5%), skin anomalies (19.7%) and genitourinary system anomalies(15.8%), the lowest PREVALENCE rate was related to respiratory system (1.82%)Conclusion: The PREVALENCE of CONGENITAL ANOMALIES among infants in IRAN is high. In order to reduce the rates ofthese anomalies and complications resulted from them, coping and preventive strategies such as the necessity of geneticcounseling particularly in consanguineous marriages seem to be appropriate solutions.
