ABSTRACT
In order to evaluate associations of various selected risk indicators with reduction limb defects, data on 453 cases of reduction limb defects and their time-area matched pair controls from the Finnish Registry of Congenital Malformations was studied. A multivariate analysis of the earlier reported associations was performed. This analysis showed that the following risk indicators were associated with the defects high birth order, threatened abortion, low placental weight, low birth weight, previous malformations in the family, influenza during early pregnancy, other infectious diseases, and mother's alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
