Background: Congenital malformations are important causes of infant and childhood deaths, chronic illness and disability.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted over a period of one year in Princess Esra Hospital, a tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit, Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. All new-borns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit over a period of 1 year from June 2014 to June 2015 were included in the study.Results: The incidence of congenital malformations (CMF) in the present study is 3%. Among the major congenital malformations, the central nervous system (CNS) and gastrointestinal (GI) malformations were more frequent than others contributing to 28.9% each. The male neonates were more frequently involved than females. Association of low birth and prematurity with increased risk of congenital malformations is also documented.Conclusions: Early prenatal diagnosis and management of common anomalies is strongly recommended.

Neonatal Sepsis (NS) is a systemic infection caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses during the first month of life. Although various studies have identified the factors associated with NS, it is a public health problem due to its high morbidity and mortality. The study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with neonatal sepsis in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a tertiary hospital in Mexico. A case-control study was carried out using records of neonates (with sepsis 39 and without sepsis 39) from January to December 2017. The risk factors studied were the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the mother and clinics of the neonate. The data were analyzed using the Chi2 test, Fisher's exact test, Student's t-test, and the Odds Ratio (OR). The risk factors associated with NS were gestational age (OR 0.77, CI 95% = 0.64-0.91, p = 0.004), newborn weight (OR 0.45, CI95% = 0.23-0.86, p = 0.017) and days of hospital stay (OR 1.06, CI95% = 1.02-1.10, p = 0.0014). The mother's sociodemographic and clinical factors were not associated with NS. Risk factors associated with NS were gestational age, newborn weight, and days of hospital stay.
