The Hungarian Case-Control Surveillance System of Congenital Anomalies, 1980-1987 contains 10,937 index patients affected by congenital anomalies and 10,937 matched control cases. Their comparative analysis indicated a significantly higher rate of some congenital anomaly types in the offspring of women worked in agriculture and "other" categories. However, a more detailed analysis of data set (according to different working places) is needed for the improvement of health protection.
