The results of a pilot study of malformations in newborn infants in two regions of Sydney in 1976 showed that the incidence of major malformations was 11.31 per 1000 live births and stillbirths, and the incidence of minor malformations was 7.33 per 1000. There were 131 stillbirths among the 12816 births in the study. There were geographical and seasonal variation and "time place clustering" of cases. There was a higher incidence of congenital heart disease and chromosomal abnormalities than in the study carried out in 1966 by Stevenson. The need for accurate diagnosis and for the provision of support and genetic counseling for the parents soon after the birth of a baby with an abnormality is stressed; these should be an integral part of total patient care.
1976年在悉尼两个地区针对新生儿畸形开展的一项初步研究结果显示，严重畸形的发生率为每1000例活产和死产中有11.31例，轻微畸形的发生率为每1000例中有7.33例。该研究的12816例分娩中有131例死产。病例存在地理和季节差异以及“时间地点聚集性”。与史蒂文森1966年开展的研究相比，先天性心脏病和染色体异常的发生率更高。强调了在发现婴儿有异常后要尽快进行准确诊断，并为父母提供支持和遗传咨询；这些应成为整体患者护理的一个组成部分。
