Description
· Only book available exclusively covering the epidemiology of human
congenital malformations and possible risk factors
· Based on the analysis of data from the Swedish National Health registers
for the period 1998-2010, corresponding to some 1.3 million births
· Authored by Professor Emeritus Bengt Källén, ?an internationally
recognised expert in the field of birth defect epidemiology
The subject of this book is to describe the occurrence of congenital malformations
among children born and what risk factors exist. Population data are presented
for a number of malformations, ascertained with the use of data from the Swedish
national health registers for the period 1998-2010 corresponding to some 1.3
million births, together with prospectively collected information on a group
of exposures of possible interest. The structure of the analysis is such that
it excludes studies of, for instance, nutrition, alcohol or street drug use
and many other lifestyle factors where prospective information or independent
register information is difficult or impossible to obtain.
Epidemiology of Human Congenital Malformations culminates with a discussion on how the presence of malformations can be explained and various possibilities for the prevention of birth defects. Moreover, it will include a series of instructions on how to read epidemiological literature in this field making it an essential resource both for those currently working in the field of reproductive epidemiology or those intending to enter it. It will additionally be useful for doctors working with malformations, either as obstetricians, neonatologists or pediatricians.
