TABLE I.
Association of Maternal Thyroid Disease With Craniosynostosis, National Birth Defects Prevention Study, 1997–2007
Affected suture(s) | No. cases with and without thyroid disease* | AOR (95% CI), adjusted for maternal age** |
---|---|---|
Any | 37/1030 | 1.4 (0.9, 1.9) |
Sagittal | 19/547 | 1.3 (0.8, 2.1) |
Metopic | 6/188 | 1.3 (0.6, 3.0) |
Coronal | 6/181 | 1.2 (0.5, 2.9) |
Lambdoidal | 0/32 | — |
Multiple | 6/79 | 3.0 (1.3, 6.9) |
The sum of the two numbers in the column equals the total number of cases; eg, 37 + 1030 = 1067 cases with any affected suture. Number of controls with and without thyroid disease was 191 and 8303, respectively.
Adjusted for maternal age as <25, 25–29, 30–34, 35+ years.
