  • Down's syndrome

    J P Bound, Gabriele Taddei et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1995References: 15

    OBJECTIVE--To analyse the prevalence of Down's syndrome in a specific, geographical area and seek to explain variations with particular reference to ionising radiation. DESIGN--Cases were ascertained by one paediatrician as part of a prospective survey of major congenital malformations in children born to residents of an area of Lancashire between 1957 and 1991. Temporal changes in prevalence rates were detected by a grid search technique using P…

  • Geographic Influences on the Uptake of Infant Immunisations

    Open AccessM L Senior, J New et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1993Cited by: 2References: 17

    This is the first of two papers in which the effects on the uptake of immunisation of transport, time-space, and gender-role constraints, among a wider range of influences, are assessed statistically. A critique of a paper by Jarman et al leads to the formulation of an improved conceptual and statistical framework for analyses of uptake. Within this framework, the possibility of explaining immunisation uptake by using readily available data at th…

  • Geographic Influences on the Uptake of Infant Immunisations

    Open AccessM L Senior, J New et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1993Cited by: 2References: 7

    This is the second of two papers in which the effects of transport, time-space, and gender-role constraints on the uptake of immunisation are assessed statistically. In the first paper, it was concluded that aggregate analyses, conducted solely at the District Health Authority level, provide unreliable explanations of uptake. In this paper, individual-level analyses are described in which information from interviews with mothers resident in the d…

  • Seasonal prevalence of major congenital malformations in the Fylde of Lancashire 1957-1981

    J P Bound, P Harvey et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1989Cited by: 4References: 17

    The seasonal prevalence of major congenital malformations was studied in a prospective survey of 88,449 children born in the circumscribed Fylde of Lancashire to residents there over 25 years. Ascertainment was thought to be as complete as was practically possible because cases were recorded daily by one, and for 17 years the only, paediatrician and a very high rate of necropsies was maintained. The number of malformations were classified by mont…
