Racial/Ethnic Differences in Survival of United States Children with Birth Defects: A Population-Based Study

Racial/Ethnic Differences in Survival of United States Children with Birth Defects: A Population-Based Study

Objectives To examine racial/ethnic-specific survival of children with major birth defects in the US. Study design We pooled data on live births delivered during 1999-2007 with any of 21 birth defects from 12 population-based birth defects surveillance programs. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to ca...

Zusammenfassung:Objectives To examine racial/ethnic-specific survival of children with major birth defects in the US. Study design We pooled data on live births delivered during 1999-2007 with any of 21 birth defects from 12 population-based birth defects surveillance programs. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to calculate cumulative survival probabilities and Cox proportional hazards models to estimate mortality risk. Results For most birth defects, there were small-to-moderate differences in neonatal (
