Birth Defects and Medical Malpractice
In the United States, a baby is born with a defect that occurs every four and quarter minutes. These defects can affect the lives of those who are affected for a lifetime.
Different classifications and types of cases can lead to an under- or overestimated number of birth defects. A well-designed system will include active case ascertainment, which includes medical record abstraction and a clinical review in addition to passive reporting.
Causes
When the baby is born with a defect, injury or other it can have serious health consequences for the child's life. Birth defects are usually caused by medical error or doctor's negligence during pregnancy.
In some cases birth defects can be prevented by prenatal care and the right nutrition. In some instances, birth defects can be caused through environmental factors like exposure to toxic chemicals or toxins. Birth defects may be the result of complications during pregnancy, like constriction of the uterus, rupture the amniotic fluid sac or a lack of oxygen in the fetus.
Some birth defects result from genetic disorders that are passed down through families. These are easily identified through a blood test or ultrasound. Certain of these diseases, such as PKU and sickle cell disease are treatable or prevented. Some birth defects aren't identified as a cause. They are known as congenital disorders or congenital anomalies.

Diagnosis
A birth defect is an abnormal growth that can affect any body part, affecting the way that organs function or the structure of the body. A healthcare professional can identify birth defects during pregnancy or after the baby is born or during the early years of childhood. Some birth defects are visible like cleft lips or palates or craniofacial anomalies while others are less noticeable, like congenital heart disease and biliary atresia (an obstruction of the duct which carries the bile into the liver).
Many birth defects are diagnosed through newborn screening tests that look for specific health issues. PKU congenital hypothyroidism and sickle cell disease are among the conditions that can be diagnosed through newborn screening tests. Newborn screening is also used to identify genetic diseases like Down syndrome. A healthcare provider can diagnose certain birth defects with ultrasounds during pregnancy as well as blood tests, based on the kind of defect.
It isn't always possible to determine the cause of a birth defect. However the environment is often involved. This can include exposures to prescription or over the counter medications, chemical substances contaminating the air and water of communities, or complications that arise during pregnancy or delivery. Other times birth defects can be due to a physician failing to take the appropriate measures to prevent or treat a recognized medical health condition. In these instances medical malpractice claims could be pursued.
Treatment
When a birth defect is diagnosed, the treatment options differ depending on the nature and severity of the problem. Some birth defects can be corrected before the baby is born. Others might require medical or surgical intervention after the baby's birth.
A majority of birth defects are chromosomal. resulting from missing or extra genes that are present in the cells of a person. These are usually inherited from parents. Cleft lips are among the structural defects that can be found, neural tube defects, and heart issues. These are typically caused by issues with the development of a baby's organs, particularly during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Screening tests may be performed during pregnancy, or following birth. They are also able to be done later in life if signs begin to manifest. These tests are conducted through ultrasounds and blood tests. A person may undergo a genetic testing for birth defects to determine if they're predisposed to suffer from a certain condition.
Preventing birth defects is not always easy. Some birth defects are caused by complications that happen during pregnancy, whereas others are linked to environmental factors. Birth defects can be caused by use of tobacco, alcohol or other drugs during pregnancy. Some birth defects can also be due to chemicals that can be found in the environment, including herbicides and pesticides, such as Agent Orange used during the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1971.
