“…This differs from some studies that reported increased risk of clubfoot in women who smoke cigarettes before and during pregnancy (Dickinson et al, 2008;Werler et al, 2015;Skelly et al, 2002). In our culture, smoking by women is a taboo not to mention the married and those bearing children.…”

“…In our study majority of the mothers were of young age, although "maternal age has been shown to be both inversely and positively associated with clubfoot" (Cardy et al, 2007;Dickinson et al, 2008;Kancherla et al, 2010). Some studies differ in opinion in that they found no association (Werler et al, 2013;Pavone et al, 2012;Carey et al, 2005;Skelly et al, 2002).…”

“…The mean age in months was approximately 11.5 months which was still in comparison with other studies in Australia, Bangladesh and India that reported 12 months, 22 months and 4.5 months respectively (Brewster et al, 2008;Chaudhry et al, 2012;Ford-Powell et al, 2013). In the UK and US, some studies have reported mean ages of 4.5 weeks and 60 days at presentation (Dickinson et al, 2008;Kancherla et al, 2010). The highest age ever reported in Nigeria at presentation was 18 years (Adegbehingbe et al, 2010).…”

“…Epidemiologic studies have consistently reported higher prevalence of idiopathic clubfoot in males and firstborn but any associations with smoking, race/ ethnicity and maternal age are not clear (Cardy et al, 2007;Dickinson et al, 2008;Kancherla et al, 2010;Pavone et al, 2012). These studies are very scanty in Nigeria and to the best of our knowledge no study has focused on idiopathic clubfoot in our country.…”

Talipes equinovarus (Clubfoot) is the commonest foot deformity with variable incidence across races. Exact etiology remains elusive. The objective of this study is to describe the epidemiology of clubfoot in our centre, looking for predisposing factors. This is a descriptive clinic based epidemiologic study of 106 feet belonging to 69 subjects from January 2014 -December 2015 was conducted. Structured questionnaires were administered to clinically confirmed clubfoot subject's guardian or biologic mothers. Phenotypic data from clubfoot subject were also recorded. Analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 22 for windows. Results revealed the age range of the patients as 3 days to 9 years, with a mean age of 46.17 ± 92.03 weeks. Thirty-seven (53.7%) patients had bilateral deformity while 13 (18.8%) patients had right-sided deformity, and 19 (27.5%) patients had left-sided deformity. Majority 40 (58.0%) of the patients were firstborn out of which 28 were males. Only 2 (2.89%) patients are products of multiple gestations. All mothers were none smokers and there was no reported family history of foot deformities or clubfoot. The mean maternal age was 25.81 years ± 4.99 years. The average length/height of patients at presentation was 64.27 ± 23.93 cm. The average shoulder span of the patients at presentation was 23.93 ± 15.86 cm. The study thus revealed that young maternal age, gender and firstborn are predisposing factors in the etiology of clubfoot.

Congenital idiopathic talipes equinovarus (ITEV), also known as clubfoot, is a well-recognized foot deformity. To date, prevalence estimates and descriptive data reported for ITEV have varied due to differences in study methodology. Using population-based surveillance data collected by the Iowa Registry for Congenital and Inherited Disorders, we examined isolated ITEV births delivered from 1997 through 2005 and compared to live births in Iowa during the same time period. An overall prevalence was calculated for live, singleton full-term births only. Prevalence odds ratios (POR)s and 95% confidence intervals (CI)s were examined for selected infant and parental characteristics. The prevalence of isolated ITEV was 11.4 per 10,000 live, singleton full-term births (95% CI = 10.3, 12.6), with no significant variation in prevalence during the study period. Increased PORs were found for males (POR 1.8; 95% CI = 1.5, 2.3) and maternal smoking during pregnancy (POR = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.2, 1.9); low birth weight (<2,500 g) showed an increase among females (POR = 3.2, 95% CI = 1.5, 6.9) but not males (POR = 0.9, 95% CI = 0.3, 2.8). Elevated, but non-significant, PORs were found for season of birth, maternal education, and trimester prenatal care was initiated; decreased PORs were found for fetal presentation, maternal race/ethnicity, parity, area of residence, and parental age at delivery. Our study of a well-defined, homogenous sample suggested that prevalence of isolated ITEV in Iowa was similar to that reported in other population-based studies and provided support for some, but not all, previously reported associations with infant and parental characteristics. More detailed, longitudinal studies of isolated ITEV are recommended.
