Overview

Cross-sectional study shows 2.3% frequency of neural tube defects in women, highlighting maternal comorbidities' role.

Key Points

  • The frequency of neural tube defects was found to be 2.3% among women receiving folic acid.
  • Significant association exists between maternal comorbidities and the occurrence of neural tube defects (p=0.031).
  • The study used a cross-sectional design to analyze data from 385 women, assessing demographics and health status.
  • Folic acid supplementation is vital but not fully protective; comprehensive maternal health management is needed.
