Abstract Background Anencephaly is a lethal anomaly of the central nervous system from the group of neural tube defects. The main goal of our study was to evaluate the incidence of anencephaly (and its possible trends) during the 53 years period. Methods For this study, we used data from the National Registry of Congenital Anomalies of the Czech Republic. We analysed the incidence of anencephaly in births and in prenatally diagnosed cases during the 1964-2016 period. We also evaluated maternal age in these cases. The statistical analysis was performed by Poisson regression and Fisher's exact test. Results During the study period there were 6 891 062 children born in the Czech Republic. Among those, 1232 children were born with anencephaly. Another 966 cases of anencephaly were diagnosed during prenatal diagnosis and these pregnancies were electively terminated, the total number of anencephaly cases was 2198. The total incidence of anencephaly significantly decreased during the study period (p = 0.0136). The incidence in births decreased significantly as well (p < 0.001). We found statistically higher incidence of anencephaly in elder mothers (42 years and over). Conclusions Gradual implementation of ultrasound prenatal diagnostics started in the 80s of the last century and lead to a very significant decrease in the incidence of anencephaly cases in births. Additionally, the total incidence of anencephaly decreased significantly as well. Key messages Incidence of anencephaly in births decreased rapidly with gradual implementation of population wide ultrasound screening.

Abstract Background The number of children conceived by assisted reproduction techniques (ART) is increasing in the Czech Republic. However, several studies reported increased incidence of congenital anomalies in ART conceived children. The main goal of this study was to evaluate this theoretical risk using population-based data from Czech medial registries. Methods The retrospective epidemiological analysis was performed using data from the National Registry of Congenital Anomalies and National Registry of Newborns, run by the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic. All diagnoses of congenital anomalies (Q00-Q99) were included. We compared the incidences of congenital anomalies in naturally conceived children and ART conceived children born in the Czech Republic during 5 years period (2013-2017). Statistical analysis was performed by Fisher's exact test. Results During the selected period there were 547 675 children born in the Czech Republic (531 064 were naturally conceived children and 16 611 were ART conceived children). The incidence of congenital anomalies was 3.90% in naturally conceived children group and 4.35% in ART conceived children. This difference is statistically significant (p = 0.003). Conclusions In our population-based study, we confirmed a significantly higher general incidence of congenital anomalies in ART conceived children. Key messages The general incidence of congenital anomalies in ART conceived children is higher (compared to the incidence of congenital anomalies in naturally conceived children). Possible causes of this phenomenon shall be further analysed.
