Birth defects have assumed an importance even greater now than in
the past because infant mortality rates attributed to congenital
anomalies have declined far less than those for other causes of
death, such as infectious and nutritional diseases. As many as 50 %
of all pregnancies terminate as miscarriages, and in the majority
of cases this is the result of faulty intrauterine development.
Major congenital malformations are present in at least 2 % of all
liveborn infants, and 22 % of all sti1Ibirths and infant deaths are
associated with severe congenital anomalies. Not surprisingly,
there has been a great proliferation of research into the problems
of developmental abnormalities over the past few decades. This
series, Advances in the Study of Birth Defects, was conceived in
order to provide a comprehensive focal source of up-to-date
information for physi cians concerned with the health of the unborn
child and for research workers in the fields of fetal medicine and
birth defects. The first four volumes featured recent experimental
work on selected areas of high priority and intensive
investigation, including mechanisms of teratogenesis, teratological
evaluation, molecular and cellular aspects of abnormal development,
and neural and behavioural teratology. It seems logical and timely
that the clinical aspects should now be presented. Accordingly,
leading experts were invited to review a broad range of common
problems from the standpoint of embryology, aetiology, clinical
manifestations, diagnosis and management. This volume deals with
cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary
malformations."
