In a retrospective cohort study of 1,409 persons diagnosed with scoliosis between 1927 and 1965 in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, mailed questionnaires were obtained for 846 white women. Six hundred and eight (72%) of these women had ever been pregnant, and they reported a total of 1,733 pregnancies and 1,413 livebirths. Adverse outcomes among the pregnancies and livebirths of the 608 women were reported, including spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, low birth weight, prematurity, congenital anomalies, and complications of pregnancy or delivery. Rates of these events for the scoliosis patients were compared with corresponding expected rates. Comparison of the overall rates suggested that the scoliosis patients had more premature births than expected, but their rates of other adverse reproductive events did not differ from expected.

The Edinburgh Register of the Newborn 1964-1968 and the Edinburgh Scoliosis Clinic 1964-1971 have been used to establish the population frequency in the city of the idiopathic forms of talipes equinovarus and calcaneovalgus, metatarsus varus, congenital dislocation of the hip, and infantile scoliosis. A survey of 165 patients now aged 7 to 11 years showed an aetiological relationship, but with differing environmental factors. These factors were established by comparison with the Edinburgh Register control group of 692 normal infants born over the same period, giving a unique opportunity to obtain more accurate antenatal data than has previously been possible. The principal associations were: talipes equinovarus with antepartum haemorrhage and maternal hypertension; metatarsus varus with twin pregnancies; congenital dislocation of the hip with first born children, older than average fathers, breech presentation, a significant lack of menstrual problems in the mother, and maternal upper respiratory infection during pregnancy; infantile idiopathic scoliosis with breech presentation, prematurity, and the onset of the curve in the winter months. No significant association with raised intrauterine pressure (hydramnios or oligohydramnios) was found among these simple idiopathic deformities. It is concluded that the multifactorial genetic background in likely to be similar in all, but that the additional environmental element is variable.
