Mortality from congenital malformations by mother's country of birth was examined in England and Wales between the years 1976 and 1980, based on stillbirths and infant deaths. There were 18 870 stillbirths and infant deaths attributed to congenital malformations in this period, of which 2 375 (13%) were to mothers born outside the United Kingdom. There were excess deaths from malformations among Pakistani, Indian/Bangladeshi, African, and Irish mothers. In contrast, West Indian mothers had a consistent deficit in deaths from malformations over the study period. The significance of these findings is discussed.
基于死产和婴儿死亡情况,对1976年至1980年间在英格兰和威尔士出生的母亲所生婴儿因先天性畸形导致的死亡率进行了调查。在此期间,有18870例死产和婴儿死亡归因于先天性畸形,其中2375例(13%)的母亲出生在英国境外。巴基斯坦、印度/孟加拉国、非洲和爱尔兰母亲所生婴儿的畸形死亡人数过多。相比之下,在整个研究期间,西印度群岛母亲所生婴儿的畸形死亡人数一直较少。讨论了这些发现的意义。
