P2-260 Population-based prevalence of Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DBMD) in the USA
Introduction DBMD has an estimated prevalence of 1/3500 male births. Worldwide, this estimate varies, likely due to differences in diagnostic criteria, ascertainment, and survival. To date, no U.S. population-based DBMD prevalence data by race/ethnicity have been published. Methods In 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention established the MD STARnet to conduct population-based DBMD surveillance in four U.S. sites. Each site conducts…

The relationship between pregnancy intendedness and physical violence in mothers of newborns
OBJECTIVE: To determine if pregnancy intendedness is associated with physical violence, and to identify factors that modify this association. METHODS: Three to 6 months after delivery, we mailed a questionnaire to a population-based sample of 12,612 mothers of infants born during 1990 and 1991 in four states. We used multiple logistic regression to compute odds ratios. RESULTS: The state-specific prevalences (+/- standard error) of physical viole…
Rh hemolytic disease of the newborn: Using incidence observations to evaluate the use of RH immune globulin
During the 1970s, the crude incidence of Rh hemolytic disease of the newborn (RhHDN) in the United States dropped 65 per cent---from 40.5/10,000 total births in 1970 to 14.3/10,000 total births in 1979. Since the risk of RhHDN is directly associated with birth order, changes both in birth order-specific RhHDN incidence rates and in the birth order distribution would be expected to influence crude RhHDN incidence. Review of birth order-specific in…
