Anderson, 2020 case control Information on exposure to TCAs and other potential risk factors during pregnancy were collected by standardized telephone interviews with mothers of case and control infants, conducted 6 weeks to 24 months after the estimated date of delivery (EDD). Case infants were ascertained through population-based birth-defects surveillance systems in 10 U.S. states. Controls were selected randomly from the same geographic areas. Clinical data were abstracted from medical records and classified by clinician geneticists and other clinicians. No adjustment for this group of exposure.
