Figure 1.

The frequency of newborns with birth defects according to body parts affected. The most frequent congenital anomalies in the studied cases were congenital heart diseases (75 cases) followed by musculoskeletal anomalies (67 cases), chromosome abnormalities (59 cases), cleft lip and palate (16 cases), gastrointestinal anomalies (13 cases), genital anomalies (4 cases), and others (4 cases). The frequency of congenital anomalies in the above figure exceeds the total number of studied newborns as one single infant may contain more than one anomaly.
