Birth Defects and Medical Malpractice

Every four and half minutes, a baby in the United States is born with an anomaly in the birth process. These birth defects can have a lasting effect on the lives of the affected.

Different classifications and identifications of cases can lead to an under- or overestimated number of birth defects. A well-designed system will include active case ascertainment that includes medical record abstraction as well as a clinical review in addition to passive reporting.

Causes

A baby born with a defect or injury can cause long-term health issues. Birth defects are usually caused by an error in medical care or a mistake made by a doctor during pregnancy.

In some cases, birth defects can be prevented by taking care of prenatal care and a proper nutrition. In other instances, they can result from environmental factors like exposure to dangerous chemicals or toxins. Birth defects can also be caused by complications that arise during pregnancy like the uterine limit rupture of the amniotic sac, or the inability to supply oxygen to the fetus (also known as anoxic brain injury).

Certain birth defects result from genetic disorders that run in families. They can be detected with a blood test or an ultrasound. Certain of these ailments like PKU and sickle cell disease can be treated or prevented. Certain birth defects aren't known to be the cause. They are called congenital disorders, also known as congenital anomalies.

Women who are over 30 and of certain ethnicities are at a higher risk of developing certain birth defects. Couples with an identical history of genetic diseases may wish to consult a genetic counsellor before attempting to conceive. This will help them determine if further tests are required. Newborn screening tests are able to determine certain conditions, such as critical congenital defects, and certain infections that can be treated immediately.

Diagnosis

A birth defect is an abnormal growth that can affect any part of the body, affecting the way that organs work or the structure of the body. Birth defects can be detected by a medical professional during pregnancy, at birth or in early childhood. Certain birth defects are obvious like cleft lips, craniofacial anomalies or palates and others are not as obvious, such as congenital heart disease and biliary atresia (an obstruction of the duct that transports the bile into the liver).

Many birth defect-related conditions can be detected through newborn screening tests that check for a variety of health issues. These include PKU, congenital hypothyroidism and sickle cell disease. Newborn screening also looks for certain genetic diseases like Down syndrome. Some birth defects can be detected by a medical professional through ultrasounds and blood tests in pregnancy, depending on the condition.

It may not always be possible to know what caused birth defects, but it is typically attributed to environmental factors. This could include exposure to prescription and over-the-counter drugs, chemical substances that contaminate the air and water in communities or complications during pregnancy or delivery. Other times, birth defects are the result of a doctor not taking the proper steps to prevent or treat a known medical disease. In these instances medical malpractice claims could be pursued.

Treatment

When a birth defect has been diagnosed, the treatment options differ based on the type and severity of the problem. Some defects can be addressed before the birth of a baby, while others may require surgery or other medical procedures following the birth of the child.

Some of the most common birth defects are chromosomal, caused by missing or extra genes that are present in the cells of a person. These are usually inherited from the parents. Birth defects with structural causes include things like cleft lip or neural tube defects as well as heart issues. They are usually caused by issues during the growth of the baby's body organs, especially during the first 3 months of pregnancy.

Screening tests can be conducted during pregnancy, or after birth. They can also be done later on in life when symptoms begin to manifest. The tests can be carried out via 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 are due to issues that occur during a woman's pregnancy while others can be traced back to environmental factors. The use of tobacco, drugs or alcohol during pregnancy can cause birth defects. Some birth defects are also related to chemicals that can be found in the natural environment, including herbicides and pesticides, such as Agent Orange used during the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1971.
