Introduction. Birth defects or congenital anomalies are a major global concern. An estimated 7.9 million children are born worldwide each year. Birth defects are among the top ten leading causes of infant deaths in the Philippines for more than six decades. The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine the frequency of birth defects among patients seen at the Outpatient Department (OPD) of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) from 2000 to 2010; 2) describe the birth defects by organ systems and presentation (isolated, part of a recognizable syndrome, chromosomal syndrome or multimalformed case); 3) present the distribution of patients by geographic origin; 4) describe the birth defects according to age group and organ system; and 5) compare the data from this study to the previously published report among admitted patients at PGH in the same time period. Methods. Medical records of new patients seen at the PGH OPD from 2000 to 2010 were reviewed. Medical records that included written diagnosis of any of the following International Classification of Diseases (ICD) -10 codes (Q 00 – Q 99, P 35.0, P 83.5, K40, H49.0, H50.0, H50.1, H53.0, H54.42, H54.7, and H55.01) were considered birth defect cases. Results. Out of the 804,410 new patients at the PGH OPD from 2000 to 2010, 12,827 patients (1.59%) had a diagnosis of at least one major structural birth defect. The most common birth defects were cardiovascular, digestive, genital organ and nervous system anomalies. The top 5 anomalies in this report were: congenital malformations of cardiac septa, other congenital malformations not elsewhere classified, cleft palate with cleft lip, congenital hydrocoele, and congenital hydrocephalus. The highest percentage of birth defects were from the < 1 age group (40.3%), followed by the 1 to 4 age group (29%) and the 5 to 9 age group (14.6%). NCR, Region IV-A and Region III had the highest percentages of patients with birth defects, 51.4%, 26.03% and 10.97%, respectively. Conclusion. This study revealed a prevalence of birth defects among PGH OPD patients of 1.59%. The most common birth defects were possibly surgically correctable reflecting the nature of PGH as a referral center. Majority of patients affected were in the under-5 population. The study reflects the importance of a birth defects surveillance to develop policies on strategies that will reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality secondary to preventable birth defects like congenital rubella syndrome that can be aborted by a successful immunization program. The birth defects surveillance will generate data that will support strengthening the regional hospitals with a better complement of specialists and capability for both medical and surgical management of the patients.

Abstract Objective: to determine the characteristics and background of mothers who delivered neonates with birth defects. Methods: A retrospective study was used by evaluating the medical records of patients with birth defects in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital during the period between September 2014 and June 2016. Results: A total of 67 (1.85%) out of 3,619 infants who were born in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital during the period between September 2014 and June 2016 had birth defects. Forty-seven (70.1%) mothers of the subjects irregularly attend antenatal care. The most frequent maternal comorbid disease in this study was asthma, which was found in 4 (5.97%) mothers of the subjects. 48 (58.7%) subjects had birth weight under 2500 g. Conclusion: In this retrospective study, the main highlight is that 70.1% of the mothers who delivered neonates with birth defects did not attend antenatal care regularly. 58.7% of the neonates with birth defects had low birth weight. This study could be used as base for further research investigating about the role of antenatal care in early detection and/or the planning of delivery for babies with birth defects. Trends in babies with birth defects suggested that fetuses diagnosed with IUGR/SGA should be given special attention, as they were at increased risk for birth defects. Keywords: birth defect, maternal description   Abstrak Tujuan: untuk mengetahui deskripsi/ciri-ciri  dan latar belakang ibu yang melahirkan janin dengan kelainan bawaan. Metode: Studi retrospektif digunakan dengan menggunakan data sekunder rekam medis pasien dengan kelainan bawaan di Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Nasional Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo pada periode September 2014-Juni 2016. Hasil: Sejumlah 67 (1.85%) dari 3,619 neonatus didapatkan dengan kelainan bawaan di RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo pada periode September 2014-Juni 2016 . Sejumlah 47 (70.1%) ibu dari subjek tidak teratur dalam melakukan kunjungan antenatal care. Penyakit komorbid ibu yang paling banyak ditemukan dalam studi ini adalah asma, yang ditemukan dalam 4 (5.97%) subjek. 48 (58.7%) subyek memiliki berat lahir di bawah 2500 g. Kesimpulan: Pada studi retrospektif ini didapatkan 70.1% ibu yang melahirkan bayi dengan kelainan bawaan tidak melakukan kunjungan antenatal care. Didapatkan bahwa 58,7% bayi yang lahir dengan kelainan bawaan memiliki berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR). Studi ini dapat dijadikan sebagai landasan dilakukannya studi yang lebih besar untuk mengevaluasi peran antenatal care terhadap deteksi dini dan/atau perencanaan persalinan bayi dengan kelainan bawaan. Tren pada bayi dengan kelainan bawaan menunjukkan bahwa janin yang pada antenatal care didapatkan IUGR/SGA patut diperhatikan lebih untuk kecurigaan kemungkinan adanya kelainan bawaan.

DBD is a disease caused by the dengue virus which is transmitted through mosquito bites and reduces the platelet count in the sufferer. This study aims to determine the medical records of dengue hemorrhagic fever at Lubuk Pakam General Hospital. This type of research is descriptive. Data collection methods were medical records for all DHF patients from 2005 to 2009 at Lubuk Pakam General Hospital. Then the medical record data are grouped by age, sex and occupation. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the number of DHF sufferers from 2005 to 2009 increased in the 21-56 year age group with all male sex and work as entrepreneurs. This is due to a narrower environment, increasing population, and inadequate living quarters with no good air ventilation, so that the spread of dengue is increasing.

Abstract The cause of the high degree of variability in cognition and behavior among individuals with Down syndrome (DS) is unknown. We hypothesized that birth defects requiring surgery in the first years of life (congenital heart defects and gastrointestinal defects) might affect an individual's level of function. We used data from the first 234 individuals, age 6-25 years, enrolled in the Down Syndrome Cognition Project (DSCP) to test this hypothesis. Data were drawn from medical records, parent interviews, and a cognitive and behavior assessment battery. Results did not support our hypothesis. That is, we found no evidence that either birth defect was associated with poorer outcomes, adjusting for gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Implications for study design and measurement are discussed.
