In a previous paper, a significant recent increase in the incidence of congenital renal tract malformations discovered in perinatal autopsies at the Royal Women's Hospital, Brisbane, was reported. In an attempt to throw some light on the cause of this increase, both the types of renal tract malformations and the associated abnormalities in other systems observed during the past 15 months were compared with those observed in the same institution during the preceding nine years; no significant differences were detected. However, when these groups were compared with similar studies elsewhere, there were obvious differences in both the type of renal tract lesion discovered and in their associated anomalies.
在之前的一篇论文中，报告了布里斯班皇家妇女医院围产期尸检中发现的先天性肾管畸形发病率近期显著上升。为了探究这一上升的原因，将过去15个月观察到的肾管畸形类型及其他系统的相关异常与该机构前九年观察到的情况进行了比较；未发现显著差异。然而，当将这些组与其他地方的类似研究进行比较时，所发现的肾管病变类型及其相关异常均存在明显差异。
