Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
VATER(equivalent to VACTERL) is the non-random constellation of a number of congenital anomalies.
- V : vertebral anomalies
- A : anal atresia
- TE : tracheo-oesophageal fistulas
- R : radial ray hypoplasia, polydactyly and renal agenesis
Epidemiology
The prevalence of at least 3/5 anomalies occurs in 2.9 per 100,000 births:
- 3 out of 5 anomalies: 79%
- 4 out of 5 anomalies: 18%
- all 5 anomalies: 3%
