Information was collected on 2,197 stillbirths and neonatal deaths on the island of Jamaica during the 12 month period September 1986 to August 1987 as part of the population based nationwide Jamaican Perinatal Morbidity and Mortality Survey. There were 14 cases of anencephalus giving an incidence of 0.26 per 1,000 total births. One of these cases was associated with the amniotic band syndrome; excluding this, the incidence would be even lower (0.24 per 1,000). There was no apparent association with social class, maternal age, or parity. The rate found in Jamaica is considerably lower than found in any other national population study.
作为基于人群的全国性牙买加围产期发病率和死亡率调查的一部分，在1986年9月至1987年8月的12个月期间，收集了牙买加岛2197例死产和新生儿死亡的信息。无脑儿病例有14例，总出生率为每1000例中有0.26例。其中1例与羊膜带综合征有关；排除此例，发病率会更低（每1000例中有0.24例）。与社会阶层、母亲年龄或产次无明显关联。牙买加发现的发病率远低于其他任何国家人群研究中的发病率。
