Objective: To analyze the characteristics and trends of perinatal birth defects in Xinghua City, Jiangsu Province from 2020 to 2025, providing a basis for birth defect prevention at the county level. Methods: Data on perinatal infants delivered in 19 midwifery institutions in Xinghua from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2025 were retrospectively analyzed for incidence and distribution of birth defects, with trend tests applied.Results:From 2020 to 2025, 20 007 perinatal infants were examined, identifying 173 birth defects. The overall incidence was 86.47 per 10 000, with a significant annual increasing trend(trend χ2=16.10, P<0.01). The incidence was significantly higher in males(101.28 per 10 000) than in females(71.16 per 10 000)(P<0.05). The maternal age group<20 years had the highest incidence(209.42 per 10 000), followed by the ≥35 years group(113.81 per 10 000). The preterm group(<37 weeks) had a significantly higher incidence(298.85 per 10 000) than the full-term group(76.81 per 10 000), with the latter showing a significant upward trend(trend χ2=22.71, P<0.01). In 2024, the incidence increased significantly with parity(trend χ2=4.21, P<0.05). The top three defect types were congenital heart disease(28.99 per 10 000), polydactyly/syndactyly(15.99 per 10 000), and other external ear deformities(12.50 per 10 000). Congenital heart disease showed the most pronounced increasing trend(trend χ2=23.24,P<0.01). Significant upward trends were also observed for births in autumn(trend χ2=19.85,P<0.01) and winter(trend χ2=21.55, P<0.01). Conclusion: Birth defects remain a significant concern in Xinghua. Targeted interventions should focus on high-risk groups, including male infants, young or advanced maternal age, preterm births, and multiparous pregnancies. |
