Question
Chapter 50, Problem 2ITD
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the most common defects in single-birth is more or less common in the multiple-birth group as per the given data.
Introduction:
A study on the birth defects in the single-birth and the multiple-birth group is made. This study tabulated the prevalence of various birth defects per 10,000 live births in Florida from 1996 to 2000. It was suggested to the families considering fertility treatments to be aware of the fact that multifetal pregnancy and multiple births increase the chances of birth defects.

A new preventive treatment of fetal neural tube defects (NTD) using of folic acid from the start of a pregnancy was tested in a randomized trial. Assume those who received folic acid had incidence of NTD equal to 2 cases per 10,000 population, and those received a placebo had a disease Y incidence of 5 cases per 10,000 population. What is the efficacy (shown as a percent) of folic acid in preventing fetal NTD based on this study? Show calculations for credit.

- Birth Defects and Multiple Births A woman who carries multiple offspring at the same time increases the risk of some birth defects. FIGURE 42.18 shows the results of Yiwei Tang's study of birth defects reported in Florida from 1W6 to 2000. Tang compared the incidence of various defects among single and multiple births. She calculated the relative risk for each type of defect based on type of birth, and corrected for other differences that might increase risk such as maternal age, income, race, and medical care during pregnancy. A relative risk of less than 1 means that multiple births pose less risk of that defect occurring. A relative risk greater than 1 means multiples are more likely to have a defect. FIGURE 42.18 Prevalence, per 10,000 live births, of various types of birth defects among multiple aria single births. Relative risk for each defect is given after researches adjusted for the motor's age, race, previous adverse pregnancy experience, education, Medicaid participation during pregnancy, as well as the infant's sex and number of siblings. 4.
