Journal ArticleDOI
Possible prevention of neural-tube defects by periconceptional vitamin supplementation.

TL;DR: Women who had previously given birth to one or more infants with a neural-tube defect were recruited into a trial of periconceptional multivitamin supplementation and found no difference in the number of infants/fetuses with an NTD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further experience of vitamin supplementation for prevention of neural tube defect recurrences.
R.W. Smithells,Mary J. Seller,Rodney Harris,D.W. Fielding,C J Schorah,N.C. Nevin,Sheila Sheppard,Andrew P Read,S. Walker,J. Wild +9 more
TL;DR: In accordance with a previous protocol, a second cohort of 254 mothers with a history of previous neural tube defect births was before a subsequent conception and continued until the time of the second missed menstrual period, finding no recurrences among the offspring of a further 114 mothers whose duration of supplementation fell short of the full regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apparent prevention of neural tube defects by periconceptional vitamin supplementation.
R W Smithells,S Sheppard,C J Schorah,MaryJ. Seller,N C Nevin,Rodney Harris,A P Read,D.W. Fielding +7 more
TL;DR: The difference in outcome between FS and US mothers is significant, and the most likely explanation is that supplementation has prevented some neural tube defects, but further studies are needed.
