Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 - If you go to the March of Dimes website-they quote clubfoot as " one of the most common birthdefects " affecting up to 5k babies. Downs syndrome affects only 800 to 1000 births a year. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 My daughter's doctor said that once you have child with clubfoot, the statistic jumps from 1 in 1000 to 1 in 32 for all subsequent births! I have not seen this in writing and cannot validate it, but it's worth looking into. > > > > A few people have mentioned that clubfoot is more common than Downs > > Syndrome/ cleft palate - would anyone have a reference for this? > I am > > writing a 'clubfoot pitch' for something here and would like to > use that > > statistic but want to make sure first where it originated from. > > > > > > > > Thanks so much! > > > > > > > > and > > > > > > > > Moss > > > > > > > > Steps Charity > > > > <http://www.steps.org.za> www.steps.org.za > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I found it on a March of Dimes site and some other general searches about birth defect rates but don't have those book marked for you, sorry. s. Clubfoot statistics A few people have mentioned that clubfoot is more common than Downs Syndrome/ cleft palate - would anyone have a reference for this? I am writing a 'clubfoot pitch' for something here and would like to use that statistic but want to make sure first where it originated from. Thanks so much! and Moss Steps Charity <http://www.steps.org.za> www.steps.org.za Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
