This study presents race/ethnicity-specific prevalence estimates of neural tube defects
(NTDs) in California using 5 years of population-based data. NTD prevalence estimates …

Epidemiologic characteristics of neural tube defect (NTD) births occurring in Los Angeles
County, California, residents during the period 1966–1972 are presented. The prevalence at …

Isolated neural tube defects (NTDs) appear to have different risk factors compared to
nonisolated NTDs. To extend those observations, we explored routinely collected child and …

Objective. To determine the impact of prenatal diagnosis on the birth prevalence of neural
tube defects (NTDs) in Atlanta during 1990 through 1991. Methods. Live-born and stillborn …

Epidemiologic studies have established clear variations in the occurrence of neural tube
defects (NTDs) associated with demographic and other factors. Methods of counting NTD …

Abstract Background The Utah Birth Defect Network, a statewide surveillance program
based in the Utah Department of Health, monitors the occurrence of all neural tube defects …

The authors examined the impact of prenatal diagnosis and elective termination of neural
tube defect (NTD)-affected pregnancies on NTD prevalence and risk estimates. Prevalence …

To verify and investigate the reported decline of neural tube defects (NTDs) in the last
decade, data from three different sources were examined: the Birth Defects Monitoring …

We previously reported that among neural tube defects (NTDs) with no known causes the
ones that occur alone (singles) have different epidemiologic characteristics from those that …

In response to a 1991 anencephaly cluster in Cameron County, Texas, a surveillance and
neural tube defect (NTD) recurrence prevention project for NTDs was implemented in the 14 …
