Australian Data 1981-92

The ten most frequently reported birth defects in Victoria between 2003-2004 (More? Australian Statistics - Victoria)

Hypospadias
Obstructive Defects of the Renal Pelvis or Obstructive Genitourinary Defects
Ventricular Septal Defect
Congenital Dislocated Hip
Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome
Hydrocephalus
Cleft Palate
Trisomy 18 or Edward Syndrome - multiple abnormalities of the heart, diaphragm, lungs, kidneys, ureters and palate 86% discontinued.
Renal Agenesis/Dysgenesis - reduction in neonatal death and stillbirth since 1993 may be due to the more severe cases being identified in utero and being represented amongst the increased proportion of terminations (approximately 31%).
Cleft Lip and Palate - occur with another defect in 33.7% of cases.
