Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Surveillance of Birth Defects Careful monitoring of birth defects is of special importance given that North Carolina had the tenth highest 1985 rate of infant mortality in the United States (1) and that for 1984 - 86 congenital anomalies were the most frequent underlying cause of death for infants up to one year of age (figure They were also the second most frequent for children one to four years of age (figure Congenital anomalies were the state's seventh leading cause of years of potential life lost (table accounting for percent of all such years. Public concern regarding the effects of drugs and environmental toxins and teratogens suggests the need for keen surveillance of the relationship between such products and congenital anomalies. Comparing state rates of anomaly to national benchmarks might clarify links between anomalies and various drugs, chemicals, and environmental contaminants, thus reducing the possibility of another thalidomide-like tragedy. Detection of such links might also provide early warning signals for diseases such as cancer, where the latency period is usually longer than that of a birth defect.

Book excerpt: Birth defects are a leading cause of infant mortality. Additionally, babies born with birth defects who survive infancy have a greater chance of illness and long term disability than babies without birth defects. The causes can involve genetic (such as chromosomal anomalies) or environmental (such as lead exposure during pregnancy) factors, or a combination of these factors. However, in about 70 percent of cases of birth defects, the causes are unknown. The South Carolina Birth Defects Program began in July 2006 after passage of the S.C. Birth Defects Act. This law mandates active surveillance of major structural birth defects identified prenatally through age two. South Carolina monitors over 50 birth defects recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Birth Defects Prevention Network.
