Abstract
- The article focuses on a population-based study of 20-year-survival of children born with congenital anomalies. Data for the study were obtained from the United Kingdom (UK) Northern Congenital Abnormality Survey (NorCAS) between 1985 and 2003. The congenital anomalies were categorized by group, subtype and syndrome according to European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies guidelines. The study observed that those individuals born with at least one congenital anomaly has an 85.5% survival rate, while those with cardiovascular disease has a 79.1% survival rate. It also noted the variation of survival between subtypes within the same congenital anomaly group.
