title: [Frequency of congenital anomalies in neonates in Bosanska Krajina (1985-1988)].
abstract: The following can be stated on the basis of an incidence analysis of the results of birth defects in the sample of newborn infants of Bosanska krajina (1981-1985) and their distribution in the observed sample and infants' sex: In the analysed sample of newborn infants of Bosanska krajina (N = 40,450) there were 1454 newborn infants with birth defects--1375 with one and 79 with multiple defects (every 28th newborn), out of which there were 1344 full-term, 98 premature and 12 stillborn infants. The relative incidence of birth defects in the analysed sample of newborns of Bosanska krajina (3.57%) and its subsamples (full-term 3.53%; premature 14.55%; and stillborn 2.55%) coincides with the variation range registered in the samples of Yugoslav and world populations. Significant differences in the incidence of birth defects with respect to the "status" of the newborn occur in comparisons of subsamples of full-term and premature infants (0.01 greater than p greater than 0.001) and the premature and total observed sample of newborns of Bosanska krajina (p less than 0.001). The incidence analysis by newborns' sex shows significant differences in the incidence of defects between female and male newborns (p less than 0.001).
