Congenital Abnormalities

Infant mortality rose 7%, and infant deaths with congenital anomalies increased 10% in the year following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, according to research published in JAMA Pediatrics.

Infants with infantile hemangiomas of the anogenital region were more likely to have an associated congenital anomaly compared with the general population, according to a study.
