Abstract
Palomaki et al. (April 1 issue)1 reported recently that 96 women from Maine had pregnancies, with estimated or actual dates of delivery between 1991 and 1996, in which open spina bifida or anencephaly developed in the fetuses. In addition, they found no decrease in the prevalence of these preventable birth defects.Keywords
