“…In the other two population‐based studies, the reported prevalences of clubfoot were 0.93 and 1.37 per 1000 total livebirths 5,6 . For the hospital‐based studies the reported prevalences ranged from 1.24 to 6.0 per 1000 total births 7–11 …”

“…Relative risks of between 1.6 and 3.7 for males compared with females have been reported 1,3 , 6,8–10,12–17 . An increased risk of talipes calcaneovalgus and metatarsus varus has been reported for females, 7,8 illustrating the importance of correct classification of foot deformities before analysis. Also worthy of note is the interaction found by Alderman et al 12 .…”

The aims of this study were to provide a population-based prevalence for congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), to conduct an epidemiological investigation into the risk factors for CTEV and describe associated features. The study used a retrospective case-control design of CTEV notified to the South Australian Birth Defects Register between 1986 and 1996 inclusive, linking characteristics of mother and baby from the perinatal data collection. The prevalence of isolated CTEV was 1.1/1000 total births (n = 231). Four factors were significantly associated with an increased risk of CTEV: maternal Aboriginal race (ORadj = 2.0; 95% CI 1.1, 3.6), male gender (ORadj = 2.4; 95% CI 1.8, 3.2), maternal anaemia (ORadj = 1.8; 95% CI 1.0, 2.9) and maternal hyperemesis (ORadj = 3.6; 95% CI 1.3, 9.8). The prevalence of CTEV associated with another birth defect or syndrome (n = 157) was 0.7/1000 total births. CTEV was associated with specific birth defects and also with oligohydramnios when another birth defect was present.

“…Associated Anomalies It has been known that TEV is often accompanied by other congenital anomalies [K it e , 1964';Wynne-Davies, 1964;Alberman, 1965]. However, it is not clear to what extent these malformations are etiologically related to TEV though W yn.…”

“…Table II shows the mode of ascertainments for the cases of TEV, Talipes calcaneovalgus, and Metatarsus varus, and clubfoot unspeci fied. The first three specific types are of special interest for the pur pose of comparison with other studies [Wynne-Davies, 1964;Alberman, 1965;Chung and Myrianthopoulos, 1968]. It should be re cognized that since some cases were repeatedly ascertained, the sum of the numbers of ascertainments exceeds the total number of ascer tained cases.…”

“…6,26 Associated abnormalities found by ultrasound varies from 67% to 80% 6,27 ; associated abnormalities are found more commonly when bilateral clubfeet are seen than unilateral. 28 The rate of associated abnormalities in the newborn with talipes equinovarus is considerably lesser 29 and this difference may reflect the higher rate of limb deformities found sonographically after other anomalies were first diagnosed, especially with earlier ultrasounds. Currently, prenatal assessment is correct in 80% to 90% of neonates with an isolated clubfoot having the highest false-positive rate.…”
