ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED The most of European registries of congenital anomalies (CA) collected information of CA in livebirths, stillbirths and terminated pregnancies following prenatal/ultrasound diagnosis. OBJECTIVES:
to assess terminated pregnancies after prenatal/ ultrasound diagnosis of CA as a part of register of CA performed in University Hospital-Pleven. Among 21 202 births monitored during the study period (1996-2005), 679 CA were detected. The total prevalence of CA was 32/ 1000 births. The outcome of pregnancy for all cases of selected CA by register was 620 livebirths (91.3%), 36 stillbirths (5.3%), 23 terminated pregnancies (TP) (3.4%). The percentage of pregnancy termination was higher in the case of isolated anomalies, mainly lethal and CA associated with a low survival rate (61%), than with multiple ones. The most common CA detected after prenatal/ ultrasound diagnosis were neural tube defects (NTD) - the main reason for TP (52% of cases). The low proportion of these CA in TP (1/3) compared to their proportion in livebirths (50%) demonstrated an insufficiency of prenatal diagnosis of NTD as a part of register of CA performed in University Hospital-Pleven. Prenatal diagnosis of CA allows an early genetic counseling of mother presenting information on neonatal prognosis and recurrence risk for subsequent pregnancies. It helps family to take an adequate decision for termination of pregnancy with bad prognosis about heavy fetal CA.
