Spina bifida and parental occupation : results from three malformation monitoring programs in Europe
article
As the evidence for an association between spina bifida and parental agricultural occupations is inconclusive, we evaluated this association and the potential associations between spina bifida and other parental occupations. Three register-based case-referent studies were conducted in Sweden, Spain, and Hungary. From the registries of congenital malformations in each country, 482, 478, and 1119 cases with spina bifida were identified, respectively. Concluding, the results are not totally consistent but point to an increased risk of spina bifida among women in agricultural occupations.
