| dc.description.abstract | There were 97 perinatal death attributed to congenital malformations in the Greater Harare Obstetric Unit during 1983. This gives an incidence of 2.14/1 000 total births. The central nervous system was the most frequently involved system, affected in 40 (41.2%) of the deaths. The commonest malformation was anencephaly present in 17 (42.5%) of the central nervous system defects. Mothers of babies dying from a lethal congenital malformation tended to be older than the general obstetric population. | en_US |
