Factor Information
Data ID 3855
Factor Maternal overall exposure to chemicals at work
Description Maternal overall exposure to chemicals at work during the first trimester was more prevalent among the case (n = 406) group ( 35 8 %) than among the control (n = 756) group ( 26 2 %, P < 0 01, X 2 -test). This was also true in most of the ontogenetic groups (VSD, CAS, LHHS, O) of congenital heart disease.
Biomarker NA
Classification B3 (environmental factor - exposure history)
Association
Application risk assessment
Objective To investigate possible associations between cardiovascular malformations and maternal occupational exposure to various factors during the first trimester of pregnancy.
p Value <0.05
Conclusion Maternal overall exposure to chemicals at work during the first trimester was more prevalent among the case (n = 406) group ( 35 8 %) than among the control (n = 756) group ( 26 2 %, P < 0 01, X 2 -test). This was also true in most of the ontogenetic groups (VSD, CAS, LHHS, O) of congenital heart disease.
