Article Synopsis
- Congenital anomalies significantly contribute to infant mortality rates globally, and this study focuses on their prevalence and survival rates in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
- Data from 1,012 cases of nine major congenital anomalies were analyzed, revealing a prevalence range from 2.5 to 5.8 per 10,000, with a notable 1-year survival rate of 61.7% when including all pregnancy outcomes.
- Factors such as gestational age and birth weight were found to negatively impact survival, and the study highlights the importance of comprehensive data collection for accurate survival analysis.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the first six years after implementation of the population based newborn hearing screening program in Saxony-Anhalt, one German Federal State.

We classified boys undergoing primary hypospadias repair to determine the correlation between the HOPE-Score and the severity of hypospadias first and the outcome after surgery second.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent primary hypospadias repair from 2005 to 2014 were identified.
