Abstract：Objective To investigate the incidence of birth defects based on hospital surveillance in Changsha City from 2012 to 2015 so as to provide scientific evidence for formulating birth defect intervention measures in Changsha City. Methods According to the requirement of Maternal and Child Health Surveillance Scheme in China provided by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, we collected the data of birth defects in 13 monitored hospitals in Changsha City from 2012 to 2015, and then statistically analyzed these data. Results A total of 192,113 perinatal infants were monitored. Among them, 6,878 cases of birth defects were detected, and the incidence rate of birth defects was 358.02/10,000. The incidence rate of birth defects was higher in the males than in the females (389.05/10,000 vs. 321.29/10,000), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=63.881, P<0.05). The incidence rate of birth defects was higher in the urban areas than in the rural areas (370.23/10,000 vs. 342.62/10,000), with a statistically significant difference (χ2=10.464, P<0.05). The incidence rates of the age groups under 20 years and greater than or equal to 35 years were higher than those of other age groups. The top five common birth defects were congenital heart disease, external ear malformation, polydactyly, clubfoot and hypospadias. Conclusions The incidence rate of birth defects in Changsha City is at a high level; and hence, it is necessary to further strengthen tertiary prevention so as to reduce the incidence of birth defects.
