Abstract/OtherAbstract:
CONCLUSION: The only single putative risk factor that could have contributed to the increased risk for cardiac defects described in the county studied was maternal residency in a rural district. Notably, nearly all potential risk factors studied were stronger in the county studied compared with those in the reference area. A conceivable explanation is that one or more unidentified factors related to rural residency could potentiate prevalent and weak teratogenic risk factors for cardiac defects.
