通过西澳大利亚州先天畸形登记处1980年至1987年出生的数据，对西澳大利亚州土著儿童和非土著儿童的先天畸形进行了比较。尽管土著和非土著婴儿的所有畸形的出生患病率均为3.5%，但在某些个别畸形的出生患病率方面存在显著差异。神经系统和心血管缺陷以及唇腭裂在原住民中的患病率明显更高，幽门狭窄和泌尿生殖系统缺陷的患病率明显较低。虽然观察到的一些差异可能是由于确定中的偏差，但其他差异可能代表真正的差异。还讨论了土著人关于怀孕和出生的信仰，以便在适当的文化背景下考虑研究的定量结果。
A comparison of congenital malformations in Aboriginal and non‐Aboriginal children in Western Australia has been made by means of data from the WA Congenital Malformations Registry, for births from 1980 to 1987 inclusive. Although the birth prevalence of all malformations was 3.5% for both Aboriginal and non‐Aboriginal infants, significant differences were found in the birth prevalence of some individual malformations. Nervous‐system and cardiovascular defects, and cleft lip and palate were significantly more prevalent in Aborigines, and pyloric stenosis and urogenital defects were significantly less prevalent. While some of the observed differences may have been a result of biases in ascertainment, others are likely to represent true differences. A discussion of Aboriginal beliefs concerning conception and birth is included, in order that the quantitative findings from the study might be considered in an appropriate cultural setting.
