Chapter 4 The epidemiology of birth defects
Birth defects helped define Pediatric surgery
Birth defects remain potent causes of infant mortality and long-term disability
Birth defect epidemiology and teratology emerged from outbreak Investigation
Causation of birth defects remains often complex and uncertain
Birth defects appear to arise typically (but not exclusively) in the first trimester
Classification of birth defects for epidemiological purposes
Counting of birth defects is affected by the definition of stillbirth
Prenatal diagnosis: The greatest challenge to birth defect epidemiology?
Pediatric surgeons often focus on their institutional series of birth defects
A “life-course” approach to birth defects
