Abstract
Abstract : Preliminary analyses of verified birth defects and neonatal deaths in Ranch Hand children are presented. Birth defects and neonatal deaths were reported by Ranch Hand and Comparison veterans at the baseline physical examination in the Air Force Health Study. At the time this report was prepared, negative responses to the birth defect and neonatal questions had not been completed. The change in the odds ratio relating birth defects and exposure group from before the father's service in Southeast Asia (odds ratio=0.73) to after the father's service in Southeast Asia (odds ratio=l.46) was statistically significant (p=0.024). The odds ratio relating neonatal death and exposure group also changed significantly (p=0.04) from before the father's service in Southeast Asia (odds ratio=l.00) to after the father's service in Southeast Asia (odds ratio=9.85).
