The Association for Birth Defect Children (ABDC) found a higher number of 1990-1991 Gulf War Veteran children with Goldenhar syndrome. Why was your number smaller?
A. The methods used to identify case infants were not similar. ABDC’s case infants were reported by the parents, included infants born in civilian hospitals, and those born between 1991-1997. We identified case infants in a systematic and standardized manner, and were limited to infants born in military hospitals between 1991-93.
