rate than that of the national average.
Objective: To know the occurrence of congenital anomalies and its pattern among DR. Sardjito General

Q99 congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities according to International
Classisifaction of Diseases (ICD), were included. The pattern of anomaly at the Hospital was compared to
that of different population and period.
Results: There were 1968 1070 males and 898 females) admittances with congenital anomalies at Dr.
