Article Synopsis
- Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition with a high recurrence rate post-surgery, especially in low-resource settings, and understanding its risk factors can help in creating prevention strategies.
- This study involved 434 women in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, comparing those with and without prolapse to identify significant risk factors using statistical analysis.
- Key predictors of prolapse included low BMI, home births, family history, lack of episiotomy during births, height ≤150 cm, and having large babies, suggesting that these modifiable factors should be targeted in future prevention efforts.

Objectives: To determine the expression of neonatal polydactyly in Kinshasa along with its association with maternal glucose tolerance impairment.
Materials And Methods: The study group is made of 151 non diabetic women whose neonates had polydactyly (isolated in 115 cases and associated with other malformations in 36 cases). The control group was made up of mothers with normal infants, 151 who had no history of congenital malformations and 39 others with a history of polydactyly in the family.

The authors report on 115 malformed newborns, who are compared with 120 normal newborns from October 1985 up to September 1986 at the University Clinics of Kinshasa, Zaïre. There were 4,422 deliveries with 4,465 newborns, of whom 173 died during the perinatal period. The main results are: 1) the incidence of congenital defects is 2.

J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris)
July 1989
There were 22 cases of anencephaly found out of 70,450 live births registered between 1973 and 1985 in the University Teaching Hospital of Kinshasa. The very low frequency of this abnormality (31 p. 100,000) is in contrast with that published for industrialised countries (180 to 590 p.
