Personal interviews were conducted using a structured questionnaire with mothers of 82 cases and 164 control children individually matched to the cases by sex and age. Among the hypotheses examined were those related to: N\u2010nitroso compounds (sources included diet, dummies, medications, tobacco smoke); factors associated with the birth of the child; trauma to the head; and irradiation (X\u2010rays and electromagnetic radiation through electric blankets or water beds). Reported ever\u2010use of a dummy increased the risk of childhood brain tumours (OR = 2.9, 95% CI 1.6 to 5.4), although there did not appear to be any consistent indication of rising risk with reported increased levels of use. Compared with children who had never used a dummy, categories of use during the first year of life of a maximum of \u201cno more than I hour per day or night\u201d, \u201cseveral hours per day or night\u201d, and \u201cmost of the day or night\u201d had statistically significant odds ratios of 2.6, 3.4, and 2.7 respectively. Consumption of fruit by the child before the age of one appeared to be protective. No association was found between childhood brain tumours and birth weight, being the first\u2010born child, or factors linked with the child's birth; head injuries; exposure to X\u2010rays; contact with horses, or living on a farm; pesticide treatment of the house during the child's lifetime; or exposure to burning incense. \u00a9 1994 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.2910560104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,7,7]],"date-time":"2010-07-07T18:18:34Z","timestamp":1278526714000},"page":"11-15","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Perinatal and early postnatal risk factors for malignant brain tumours in New South Wales children"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Margaret","family":"McCredie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Maisonneuve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Boyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/02688699009000677"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-5379(90)90069-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","series-title":"IARC Scientific Publication 32","volume-title":"The analysis of case\u2010control studies","author":"Breslow N.
