Ref, reference; nc, not calculated; EA ± TEF, esophageal atresia with or without tracheo-esophageal fistula; VATER, vertebral anomalies, anorectal atresia, tracheo-esophageal fistula, esophageal atresia, renal anomalies; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

a

Missing or incomplete data for cigarette smoking distributed as follows: cases = 3; controls = 53.

b

Missing or incomplete data for alcohol distributed as follows: cases = 3; controls = 65.

c

No VATER cases ascertained by NC or UT centers; thus control subjects excluded from analyses for these centers.

d

Adjusted for plurality, maternal age, race and ethnicity, education, pre-pregnancy diabetes, infertility treatments, duration of cigarette smoking, and study center.

e

Adjusted for plurality, maternal age, race and ethnicity, education, pre-pregnancy diabetes, infertility treatments, duration of alcohol exposure, passive smoking (yes/no), and study center.

f

Adjusted for plurality, maternal age, race and ethnicity, education, pre-pregnancy diabetes, infertility treatments, duration of alcohol consumption, and study center.
