Birth Defects and Medical Malpractice
Every four and a half minutes, one baby in the United States is born with a birth defect. These birth defects could have a lasting impact on the lives of the affected.
The way that cases are classified and identified can result in over- or under-ascertainment of certain birth defects that are subtypes. A well-designed surveillance system employs active case ascertainment (including medical record abstraction and clinical review) in addition to passive reporting.
Causes
A baby born with a defect or injury can cause long-term health issues. Birth defects could be caused by an error in medicine or the negligence of the doctor during pregnancy.
In some instances, birth defect can be prevented by taking care of your baby and eating well. In other instances they could be the result of environmental factors like exposure to dangerous chemicals or toxic substances. Birth defects can also be the result of complications that occur during pregnancy such as the uterine limit rupture of the amniotic sac, or a lack of oxygen to the fetus (also called anoxic brain injury).
Certain birth defects are the result of genetic disorders that are passed down through families. These can be diagnosed with a blood test or an ultrasound. Some of these illnesses are treatable or preventable by a doctor, for example PKU as well as sickle cell diseases and cleft lip and cleft palate. Some birth defects are not known to have a cause. They are known as congenital disorders, also known as congenital anomalies.
Women who are over 30 and who belong to certain ethnicities have a higher chance of having birth defects. Couples who have a similar family history of genetic illness might want to consult an expert in genetics prior to trying to get pregnant. This will help couples determine whether they'll need further tests. Newborn screening tests can identify certain conditions, such as critical congenital heart defects, as well as certain infections that can be treated as soon as they are identified.
Diagnosis
Birth defects are abnormal growths that may affect any part of the human body. They can alter the way organs function or the structure of a person. A healthcare provider can detect birth defects during pregnancy as well as after the baby is born, or even during early childhood. Certain birth defects are obvious like cleft lips, craniofacial anomalies or palates while others are less conspicuous such as congenital heart disease and biliary atresia (an obstruction of the duct that transports the bile into the liver).
Many birth defects can be identified through newborn screening tests which look for certain health problems. These include PKU, congenital hypothyroidism as well as sickle cell disease. Newborn screening is also a way to identify certain genetic illnesses such as Down syndrome. A healthcare provider can diagnose certain birth defects using ultrasounds during pregnancy and blood tests, depending on the type of defect.
It isn't always possible to determine the source of a birth defect. However environmental factors are frequently associated with. This could include exposure to prescription or over-the counter medications, chemical substances that can contaminate the air and water in communities or a problem during pregnancy or the birth. Other times birth defects can be the result of a doctor not taking the proper steps to avoid or treat a medical health condition. In these instances medical malpractice lawsuits can be pursued.
Treatment
If a birth defect is recognized, the treatment options differ based on the type and severity of the defect. Certain birth defects can be corrected before the baby is born. Others may require surgery or medical intervention following the birth of the baby.
Most of the most prevalent problems are chromosomal. They are caused by the presence of extra or missing genes within cells of a person. These are typically passed down from parents. Structural birth defects are things like cleft lip and neural tube defects, as well as heart issues. These problems are caused by problems with the organ development of the baby particularly during the first three months of pregnancy.
Screening tests can be performed in the course of pregnancy or after birth. They can also be done later in life if signs start to appear. These tests can be performed through ultrasounds or blood tests. A person can also have a genetic test for birth defects to determine whether they are predisposed to a particular condition.
It's not always easy to avoid birth defects. Some are due to complications that arise during the pregnancy of a woman, while others can be traced back to certain environmental factors. The use of drugs, tobacco or alcohol during pregnancy could cause birth defects. Certain birth defects may be attributed to chemicals that are present in the environment. This includes pesticides and herbalicides, such as Agent Orange, which was used during the Vietnam War between 1962 and 1971.
