Contributions from ten neonatologist Groups are included; they are referred to a limited area in the north-west of Italy. During the year 1993, 11.503 pregnant women were tested by US and 90 neonates were further studied in the first week of postnatal age; in 44 of them the urinary tract malformation were confirmed by US. The incidence has varied from 0. 64 to 6.08% (3,8 per 1.000 life birds) confirming the importance of such a screening. | lld:pubmed |
