[Hereditary and congenital defects in children in the regions of Indija-Stara Pazova and Pancevo-Kovin].

An analysis of frequency and range of hereditary and congenital defects was performed in all infants born in the period from January 1 to December 31, 1986 in the Ward for Neonates at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Panĉevo and in the out-patient maternity home in Indija and Kovin. In Panĉevo 2.559 (1.286 m. and 1.273 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. there were 2.314 (1.178 m. and 1.136 f.) mature children and 245 (108 m. and 187 f.) premature children. In Indija 367 (180 m. and 187 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. there were 355 (174 m. and 181 f.) mature children and 12 (6 m. and 6 f.) premature children. In Kovin 146 (65 m. and 81 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. 150 (82 m. and 68 f.) mature and 10 (1 m. and 9 f.) premature children. A total 3.072 (1.531 m. and 1.541 f.) newborn infants in all three places were born. In all three places there was a total of 2.805 (1.417 m. and 1.387 f.) mature and 267 (115 m. and 152 f.) premature children. In Panĉevo 68 children were born with defects (40 m. and 28 f.), i.e. 2.66% (3.11% m. and 2.20% f.). In Indija only one defect was noted in one female child (0.53% related to female newborns).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
