Key Words	Birth defects; Prevalence; Risk factors; Shanghai
Core Tip	We evaluated the prevalence and the related risk factors of birth defects in Shanghai. The ten most frequent birth defects in newborns each year were congenital heart defects, polydactyly and syndactyly, hypospadias, orofacial clefts, congenital ear malformation, Down syndrome, strephenopodia/strephexopodia, intestinal atresia/stenosis, chromosomal disorders, and kidney malformations. We also observed that higher gravidity, premature birth, lower birth weight, cesarean delivery, twin or multiple births and being a member of a migrant population are high risk factors of birth defects according to a large patient database.
