- Abstract
- Background: Congenital anomalies and their primary prevention are a crucial public health issue. This work aimed
to estimate the prevalence of congenital anomalies in Brindisi, a city in southeastern Italy at high risk of
environmental crisis.
Methods: This research concerned newborns up to 28 days of age, born between 2001 and 2010 to mothers
resident in Brindisi and discharged with a diagnosis of congenital anomaly. We classified cases according to the
coding system adopted by the European Network for the Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT).
Prevalence rates of congenital anomalies in Brindisi were compared with those reported by EUROCAT. Logistic
regression models were adapted to evaluate the association between congenital anomalies and municipality of
residence of the mother during pregnancy.
Results: Out of 8,503 newborns we recorded 194 subjects with congenital anomalies (228.2/10,000 total births), 1.2
times higher than the one reported by the EUROCAT pool of registries. We observed 83 subjects with congenital
heart diseases with an excess of 49.1%. Odds Ratios for congenital heart diseases significantly increased for
newborns to mothers resident in Brindisi (OR 1.75 CI 95% 1.30-2.35).
Conclusions: Our findings indicated an increased prevalence of Congenital Anomalies (especially congenital heart
diseases) in the city of Brindisi. More research is needed in order to analyze the role of factors potentially involved
in the causation of congenital anomalies. (literal)
