Effectiveness of screening for congenital dislocation of the hip
The incidence of congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) in Birmingham was measured in the period 1942-52 and again in 1950-54; it is measured now in 1974-83. Despite the introduction of neonatal screening for CDH in November 1966, between the times of the earlier and the present measurements there was no indication that CDH requiring prolonged treatment had declined. The performance of the procedure itself was poor. It detected only a third of g…
Perinatal mortality standards
Perinatal mortality rates are an important index of the performance of perinatal health care services, but comparisons are confounded by variations in the prior risk status of the clienteles of different districts and different maternity units. A method of allowing for these differences has been devised. It is based jointly upon the exclusion of certain classes of birth, and on indirect standardisation for birthweight and a number of modifying fa…
The quality of notification of congenital malformations
The United Kingdom Congenital Malformations Notification Scheme began in 1964. It is based on notes added to birth notification forms. In Birmingham, a local scheme based on multiple sources has been run in parallel for the last 20 years. The national notification scheme records malformations noted up to the age of 7 days, whereas the Birmingham scheme collects information up to the age of 5 years. A case by case record linkage of the two registe…
