In the period 1987\u20131989, the questionnaire was expanded to include a detailed inquiry about exposures to pesticides. An analysis of these latter data revealed an association of maternal exposure to any pesticides during the first trimester with transposition of the great arteries in their infants (TGA; n = 66 infants), relative to 771 control infants, with an odds ratio of 2.0 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2, 3.3). No other heart defects were associated with pesticides. When analyzed by type of pesticide and adjusted for covariates, there were associations of TGA with maternal exposures to herbicides (odds ratio (OR) = 2.8; 95% CI: 1.3, 7.2) and to rodenticidal chemicals (OR = 4.7; 95% CI: 1.4, 12.1) but not to insecticides (OR = 1.5; 95% CI: 0.9, 2.6). No data were collected on specific chemicals or brand names. These results raise new questions about the possible epidemiologic association of TGA with some classes of pesticides and warrant new, carefully targeted investigations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/153.6.529","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T23:02:40Z","timestamp":1027724560000},"page":"529-536","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":83,"title":["Association of Transposition of the Great Arteries in Infants with Maternal Exposures to Herbicides and Rodenticides"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"153","author":[{"given":"Christopher A.","family":"Loffredo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ellen K.","family":"Silbergeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charlotte","family":"Ferencz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianyi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024100810183479900_B1","unstructured":"Trends in infant mortality attributable to birth defects\u2014United States, 1980\u20131995.
