Article Synopsis
- Congenital anomalies are a significant global health concern, but data on their prevalence in the Caribbean, specifically the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao), is limited.
- A study was conducted to assess the prevalence of these anomalies using data from live births and stillbirths between 2008 and 2017, finding a total prevalence rate of 242.97 per 10,000 births, with Bonaire reporting the highest rates.
- The study revealed that while the overall prevalence in the ABC islands is comparable to that of the French West Indies, it is lower than in the Northern Netherlands; specific anomalies like polydactyly were notably more prevalent in the ABC islands compared to other regions.
