Number of Infants and Children With Newly Diagnosed Congenital Anomalies (After 28 Days Post Estimated Date of Delivery)
Time frame · From 28 days post estimated date of delivery up to 24 months
A congenital anomaly is a condition present at birth that results from malformation, deformation, or disruption in 1 or more parts of the body, a chromosomal abnormality, or a known clinical syndrome. Congenital anomaly serious adverse events (SAEs) were examined by the birth defect evaluator. Events were coded per centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) Metropolitan Atlanta congenital defects program (MACDP) criteria and/or European surveillance of congenital anomalies (EUROCAT) criteria. Predefined defect codes specified whether the defect was face and neck, a cleft lip or palate, cardiovascular, respiratory, upper gastrointestinal, female genitalia, male genitalia, renal and urinary system, other musculoskeletal defects, skin, a chromosome anomaly, other organ systems, or a specified syndrome. Number of infants and children with newly diagnosed congenital anomalies reported up to 1 year of chronological age and reported after 1 year of chronological age are presented.
Number of Infant and Child Death (After 28 Days Post Estimated Date of Delivery)
Time frame · From 28 days post estimated date of delivery up to 24 months
Number of infant and child death that occurred after 28 days post estimated date of delivery and up to 24 months are presented.
Number of Infants With Ages and Stages Questionnaire-3 (ASQ-3) Score in the Black Zone for Any Domain at 9 Months
Time frame · At 9 months
The ASQ-3 included 6 questions in each area, designed to assess 5 areas of development: communication skills, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem solving skills, and personal social skills. Parents answered either yes (10 points), sometimes (5 points) or not yet (0 points) to each question to complete ASQ-3. At 9 months, the pre-defined cut-off score for communication was 13.97, gross motor was 17.82, fine motor was 31.32, problem solving was 28.72 and personal social skills was 18.91. Total score was derived by taking mean of all 5 components. Any infant who scored below the cut-off, a score more than or equal to 2 standard deviations below the mean score (that is Black zone in the score chart) in any of the 5 areas of the ASQ-3 was to be referred to a developmental specialist for a formal neurodevelopmental assessment. Number of infants with ASQ-3 scores for any domains in the black zone at 9 months is presented.
