Congenital Statistical Data
The following data is from a 2010 EUROCAT paper.[2]
- total prevalence of major congenital anomalies of 23.9 per 1,000 births for 2003-2007.
- 80% were livebirths.
- 2.5% of livebirths with congenital anomaly died in the first week of life.
- 2.0% were stillbirths or fetal deaths from 20 weeks gestation.
- 17.6% of all cases were terminations of pregnancy following prenatal diagnosis (TOPFA).
- prevalence of chromosomal anomalies was 3.6 per 1,000 births.
- contributing 28% of stillbirths/fetal deaths from 20 weeks gestation with congenital anomaly
- 48% of all TOPFA.
- Congenital heart defects (CHD) were the most common non-chromosomal subgroup (6.5 per 1,000 births).
- Limb defects (3.8 per 1,000)
- Renal anomalies (3.1 per 1,000)
- Neural defects (2.3 per 1,000).
2004 - perinatal mortality associated with congenital anomaly was 0.93 per 1,000 births, and TOPFA 4.4 per 1,000 births, with considerable country variation.

Italy
Congenital anomalies among live births in a polluted area[3] "Congenital anomalies and their primary prevention are a crucial public health issue. This work aimed to estimate the prevalence of congenital anomalies in Brindisi, a city in southeastern Italy at high risk of environmental crisis. This research concerned newborns up to 28 days of age, born between 2001 and 2010 to mothers resident in Brindisi and discharged with a diagnosis of congenital anomaly. ...Our findings indicated an increased prevalence of Congenital Anomalies (especially congenital heart diseases) in the city of Brindisi. More research is needed in order to analyze the role of factors potentially involved in the causation of congenital anomalies."
