Every year, approximately 3%-6% of infants worldwide are born with a serious birth defect (1-5). Birth defects can affect an infant regardless of birthplace, race, or ethnicity. In many countries, birth defects are among the leading causes of death for infants and young children (6). Those who survive and live with these conditions are at an increased risk for lifelong disabilities.
每年，全球约有3%至6%的婴儿出生时患有严重出生缺陷（1-5）。无论出生地、种族或民族如何，婴儿都可能受到出生缺陷的影响。在许多国家，出生缺陷是婴幼儿死亡的主要原因之一（6）。那些在这些状况下存活下来的人终身残疾的风险会增加。
