“…In this study, this was the third most common BD. Other BDs, such as congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract, and polydactyly, the fourth and fifth most common findings, respectively, are among the most common anomalies in newborn infants (Richter-Rodier et al;Liu et al, 2016).…”

Birth defects (BDs) are functional and structural alterations in embryonic or fetal development. With an incidence of approximately 3-5%, BDs are a leading cause of infant mortality and lifelong disability. A population-based prospective case-control study was conducted for one year with 5204 infants, between March 1 st , 2011 and February 29 th , 2012 in the city of São José do Rio Preto, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The incidence of BDs was 3.2% [95% confidence interval (95%CI): 2.8-3.8%]. The most common congenital anomalies were heart diseases in isolation (11.2%; 95%CI: 7.3-16.9%) followed by Down syndrome (9.5%; 95%CI: 5.9-14.8%), neural tube defects (8.9%; 95%CI: 5.4-14.1), urinary tract anomalies (7.7%; 95%CI: 4.4-12.7%), and polydactyly (7.0%; 95%CI: 4.0-12.0%). The majority of mothers with Down syndrome babies had advanced age. Family members with the same BD, maternal alcohol consumption, gestational diabetes, and previous miscarriages were the most frequent risk factors. The results were similar to published data from other countries except for the incidence of Down syndrome, which was twice as high as reported by other authors and is probably due to the high sociocultural level of the region where the current study was performed, leading to pregnancies at older maternal age.

“…8 circumstances of newborns, children, and their parents. [9][10][11] The broad spectrum of data on the prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal periods has allowed multiple data analyses focusing on clinically relevant topics, including preventive medical check-ups during pregnancy, 12,13 health and health-related risk factors with regard to socio-economic background, 14 and health risk factors and their associated outcome in infancy. 15,16 The SNiP-I-Follow-up study collects information on this cohort in childhood and adolescence in order to investigate the associations between biological, clinical, social, and health care factors in pregnancy and the perinatal period and later health.…”

Background The health status of newborns is a major concern for parents and medical personnel. Recent studies have provided increasing evidence that factors from the foetal and perinatal periods of life influence health later in life. The “Follow‐up of the Survey of Neonates in Pomerania” (SNiP‐I‐Follow‐up) is the first follow‐up of the population‐based birth cohort study, SNiP‐I, established in north‐east Germany. Objectives The primary aim of SNiP‐I‐Follow‐up study was the collection of longitudinal data on children and adolescents. The associations will be analysed between risk factors in pregnancy and the perinatal period and health status in infancy and later childhood. Population The population‐based cohort study SNiP‐I was conducted in Pomerania in north‐east Germany between February 2002 and November 2008. All mothers from the SNiP‐I birth cohort were recontacted when their children were from 9 to 15 years of age. Design The SNiP‐I‐Follow‐up study was carried out between December 2016 and August 2017 and is a questionnaire‐based survey. Methods Physical development, health status, and social behaviour (school and leisure behaviour) of children were analysed using a questionnaire comprising medical, epidemiological, and socio‐economic data, associated health care risk factors, and life circumstances of newborns, children, and their parents. Preliminary results Out of 5725 children invited to participate in the SNiP‐I‐Follow‐up study between December 2016 and August 2017, 29% (n = 1665) children participated in the SNiP‐I‐Follow‐up study, providing data on 1665 mothers‐child dyads. Responders had higher socio‐economic status, especially in relation to maternal education status. Conclusion As a longitudinal birth cohort from rural Germany, the SNiP cohort will be a resource to address urgent research needs and contribute to overall population health.

“…Antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH), i. e., prenatally detected dilation of the renal collecting system, is a common finding in prenatal ultrasound, seen in approximately 1 to 5 % of pregnancies [1][2][3][4]. It has a wide range of possible etiologies, including congenital anomalies such as ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), megaureter, multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK), posterior urethral valves (PUV) and ureterocele [1].…”
