ABSTRACT Congenital urogenital anomalies constitute approximately 20 to 30% of all malformations identified in the antenatal period. Since fetal urogenital malformations are a significant cause of neonatal and child morbidity and mortality, the necessity of providing the correct diagnosis for the parents and professionals involved in the management should be of great priority. Here, we present a review of the most common fetal urogenital malformations with special consideration of ultrasound features and addition of our ultrasound assessments.

IntroductionReliable estimates on maternal and child morbidity and mortality are essential for health programmes and policies. Data are needed in populations, which have the highest burden of disease but also have the least evidence and research, to design and evaluate health interventions to prevent illnesses and deaths that occur worldwide each year.Methods and analysisThe Birhan Maternal and Child Health cohort is an open prospective pregnancy and birth cohort nested within the Birhan Health and Demographic Surveillance System. An estimated 2500 pregnant women are enrolled each year and followed through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Newborns are followed through 2 years of life to assess growth and development. Baseline medical data, signs and symptoms, laboratory test results, anthropometrics and pregnancy and birth outcomes (stillbirth, preterm birth, low birth weight) are collected from both home and health facility visits. We will calculate the period prevalence and incidence of primary morbidity and mortality outcomes.Ethics and disseminationThe cohort has received ethical approval. Findings will be disseminated at scientific conferences, peer-reviewed journals and to relevant stakeholders including the Ministry of Health.
