At present, congenital malformations contribute more to infant mortality, given the significant decrease in overall infant mortality rate observed in Chile. A significant and steady increase in the prevalence of congenital malformations was demonstrated at the Clinical Hospital, University of Chile, from 1969 to 1986. Better epidemiologic surveillance is needed to accurately estimate the magnitude of this problem and give orientation for preventive measures.
目前，鉴于智利整体婴儿死亡率显著下降，先天性畸形对婴儿死亡率的影响更大。1969年至1986年期间，智利大学临床医院先天性畸形的患病率显著且持续上升。需要更好的流行病学监测来准确估计这一问题的严重程度，并为预防措施提供指导。
