A survey of all hospital births in the Northland region of New Zealand during 1966-1977 has been carried out. There were 23 591 births during this period, of which 374 had significant malformations diagnosed in hospital. There were 243 stillbirths, 148 neonatal deaths; 334 infants with diagnosed malformations survived to discharge. Rates of stillbirth, neonatal death and malformation were higher amongst Maoris than amongst non-Maoris. The commoner malformations (with incidence rates per thousand births) were: talipes (5.2), spina bifida, congenital heart defects, cleft lip and/or cleft palate (1.5), and anencephalus (1.0). Anencephalus was commoner amongst females than males; talipes and isolated cleft palate were commoner amongst Maoris, anencephalus and spina bifida amongst non-Maoris. There is some evidence that whereas the rate of stillbirth has declined over the period, the rate of neonatal death has risen.
对1966年至1977年期间新西兰北部地区所有医院分娩情况进行了一项调查。在此期间共有23591例分娩，其中374例在医院被诊断出有严重畸形。有243例死产，148例新生儿死亡；334例被诊断出有畸形的婴儿存活至出院。毛利人的死产、新生儿死亡和畸形率高于非毛利人。较常见的畸形（每千例分娩的发病率）为：畸形足（5.2）、脊柱裂、先天性心脏缺陷、唇裂和/或腭裂（1.5）以及无脑儿（1.0）。无脑儿在女性中比男性更常见；畸形足和单纯腭裂在毛利人中更常见，无脑儿和脊柱裂在非毛利人中更常见。有证据表明，在此期间死产率有所下降，而新生儿死亡率有所上升。
