Pre-eclampsia in American Indians/Alaska Natives and Whites: The Significance of Body Mass Index
Birth Weight and Birth Weight for Gestational Age in Relation to Risk of Hospitalization with Primary Hypertension in Children and Young Adults
Risk of early childhood injuries in twins and singletons
The incidence of twin births in the United States (US) has increased more than 65 per cent since 1980. However, the risk of injury to multiple-birth children is unknown. We sought to compare the risk of injury-related hospitalization and death between multiples and singletons. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using linked birth certificate, hospital discharge, and death certificate data from Washington State (1987–2002). All multiples an…
Validity of Maternal and Perinatal Risk Factors Reported on Fetal Death Certificates
We sought to estimate the accuracy, relative to maternal medical records, of perinatal risk factors recorded on fetal death certificates. We conducted a validation study of fetal death certificates among women who experienced fetal deaths between 1996 and 2001. The number of previous births, established diabetes, chronic hypertension, maternal fever, performance of autopsy, anencephaly, and Down syndrome had very high accuracy, while placental co…
Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Mexican-Americans: Are US-Born Women at Greater Risk than Mexico-Born Women
Objective. We examined adverse birth outcomes among Mexican-Americans to determine the effect of country of maternal birth, a measure of acculturation. Design. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of birth outcomes among 4800 Mexico-born and 4800 US-born Mexican-American women using Washington State birth certificate data from 1989 to 1994. Length of residence at current address was used to help refine our measure of acculturation. Result…
Maternal smoking during pregnancy and the risk of congenital urinary tract anomalies
To study maternal smoking during pregnancy and the risk of congenital urinary tract anomalies, we interviewed mothers of 118 affected infants born to residents of western Washington State during 1990 and 1991 and mothers of 369 control infants randomly selected from those without birth defects delivered during those years in five hospitals in King County, Washington. Maternal smoking was associated with an increased risk of congenital urinary tra…
Fatal pedestrian injuries to young children: A different pattern of injury
All pedestrian vehicle collision fatalities to children less than five years of age in Washington State were evaluated for a five-year period using State death certificates, coroners' reports, and police records. Although the majority of pedestrian fatalities to older children have been shown to be due to "dart-outs" into traffic with the child being struck by an oncoming car, pedestrian fatality incident for children less than five tended to occ…
The Epidemiology and Causes of Childhood Injuries
Injuries are the leading cause of death in children and adolescents after the first year of life. For individuals of all ages, the costs from motor vehicle injuries alone, when compared to other leading causes of death, are second only to the costs of cancer. Injuries are discussed within the conceptual framework of the events surrounding the injury and the classic epidemiological parameters of host, agent, and environment. Important host factors…
Level of response in epidemiologic studies using the card-back system to contact subjects
Response levels obtained from two methods of patient contact to obtain subject consent for participation in epidemiologic studies were compared. When a signed, return card was required prior to further contact, 70 to 83 per cent of patients consented to participate, compared with consistently higher levels (89 to 93 per cent) obtained with telephone contact. These data suggest that the likelihood of obtaining the high response level required in e…
