The heights of 33 consecutively selected mothers of children in hospital for treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) were compared with the heights of 54 mothers of children in hospital for conditions other than CDH. The mothers of the CDH children were found to be shorter than those of the control group by a mean of 4·4 cm. This difference was statistically significant. Short maternal stature is associated with a narrow pelvis and presumably also with reduced uterine size which may cause restriction of space for the fetus.
对33名因先天性髋关节脱位(CDH)住院治疗的儿童的母亲的身高与54名因CDH以外疾病住院的儿童的母亲的身高进行了比较。发现CDH儿童的母亲比对照组母亲平均矮4.4厘米。这种差异具有统计学意义。母亲身材矮小与骨盆狭窄有关,可能也与子宫尺寸减小有关,这可能会导致胎儿的空间受限。
