Abstract

We used a national population-based database to study socioeconomic and racial disparities associated with congenital anomalies in 293,498 infants of diabetic mothers. Risk of anomalies in infants of diabetic mothers was highest in poor families (13.3%) compared to the rich families (10.9%), and black families had the highest risk of anomalies (14.0%) compared to white families (11.8%).

Keywords: Congenital anomalies; Infants of diabetic mothers; Socioeconomic disparities; United States.
