Epidemiology of limb reduction defects as registered in the Medical Birth Registry of Norway, 1970-2016: Population based study

Abstract: Background Following the Thalidomide disaster, the Medical Birth Registry of Norway (MBRN) was established in 1967, with epidemiological surveillance of congenital anomalies as one main aim. Limb reduction defects (LRD) constitute a rare and heterogeneous anomaly group, where correct registration and classification is important for surveillance and research. We aimed at reviewing and recoding LRD cases in the MBRN using the same classification system for all years, and evaluate time trends, charac… Show more

“…This is higher than the perinatal mortality of 20% reported by Källén et al (). Our stillbirth rate of 6.6% was within the range reported in the literature (3–10.5%) (Evans et al, ; Gold et al, ; Klungsøyr et al, ), which excludes ETOPFA. The proportion of patients who died before hospital discharge in our study (19.3%) was higher than the proportion of patients that died within the first year of life reported by Evans et al (), Klungsøyr et al (), Gold et al, and Froster‐Iskenius and Baird () of 5, 5.5, 6.2, and 12.9%, respectively.…”

“…There are other reports in the literature detailing associated CA in patients with LRD (Bedard, Lowry, Sibbald, & Kiefer, ; Calzolari et al, ; Evans et al, ; Klungsøyr et al, ; Rosano et al, ; Stoll et al, ; Vasluian et al, ). There are methodological differences that impede an adequate comparison, particularly regarding the exclusion of syndromic cases from the analysis.…”

“…Распространенность нарушений, вследствие которых возникает потребность в протезировании конечностей, в разных странах значительно варьирует -от 4,4 на 10 000 новорожденных в Норвегии [1] до 21,1 -в Голландии [2]. При этом частота врожденных особенностей строения конечностей в 2 раза выше, чем приобретенных [3,4]. Распространенность нарушений, требующих протезирования конечностей, в России остается неизученной.…”

“…2 The rehabilitation was timely if a) first prosthetic care performed at the age of 6 months, b) rehabilitation treatment initiated since birth. 3 Complex approach in rehabilitation was: a) training how to use prosthetics during rehabilitation, b) participation of interdisciplinary team: at least exercise physiologist (or rehabilitation therapist), ergotherapist, clinical psychologist, c) involvement of modern technologies like virtual reality. 4 Individual approach in rehabilitation: a) availability of individual rehabilitation and abilitation programs, b) individual goals and aims setting with a child, c) working in natural environment -school/kindergarten/home, г) individual exercises.…”
