In a hospital-based study of almost 174,000 total births during 1968--1976, the authors found the incidence of congenital hydrocephalus to be 66 cases per 100,000 births. There was a significantly higher frequency in children born to mothers who themselves had been born in Puerto Rico but no significant difference in incidence between whites and blacks. The influences of maternal age, previous pregnancies, socioeconomic status, temporal and other factors are assessed and compared to previous reports.
在一项基于医院的研究中，研究对象为1968年至1976年期间的近17.4万例分娩，作者发现先天性脑积水的发病率为每10万例分娩中有66例。母亲本人出生在波多黎各的儿童发病率明显更高，但白人和黑人之间的发病率没有显著差异。评估了母亲年龄、既往妊娠、社会经济地位、时间和其他因素的影响，并与之前的报告进行了比较。
