Our aim was to evaluate potential risk factors for this condition using a case\u2013control approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>We analyzed data from 1,194 live births with isolated microtia enrolled in the ECLAMC study (Estudio Colaborativo Latino Americano de Malformaciones Cong\u00e9nitas) from 1982 to 2011 and their respective controls. Odds ratios (ORs) were estimated with logistic regression models along with 95% confidence intervals for the resulting OR estimates controlling for the effects of potential confounders (sex, maternal age, hospital, and year of birth) for an adjusted OR (aOR).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Multiparity was associated with a higher risk of microtia compared with primiparity (aOR, 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2\u20131.8), with women who had eight or more prior pregnancies having the highest risk (aOR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.6\u20135.2). Women who presented with cold\u2010like symptoms were at higher risk for microtia (aOR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.2\u20133.9) as well as those that used tobacco or alcohol during pregnancy (aOR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1\u20132.6 and aOR, 1.4; 95% CI, 0.9\u20132.1, respectively). The association with alcohol use appeared to be limited to those women who reported binge drinking during pregnancy (aOR, 1.4; 95% CI, 0.7\u20133.1). Cases from hospitals at low altitude (&lt;2500 m) tended to have more severe types of microtia than those from hospitals at high
