AIM: To see if pre-partum factors have a relationship to the development of @entity169 in @entity1 . METHOD: A prospective study on @entity1 with @entity547 . On first contact, the affected @entity1 was examined and data like the age, sex, weight, blood group, the diagnosis, side of the lesion and other co-morbid conditions was recorded. The mother filled a questionnaire about her age, parity, illness during pregnancy, her mode of delivery and the @entity1 's position in the family. RESULTS: There were 104 @entity1 from 103 mothers, their ages ranged from 13 days to 14 years with the highest incidence in the 1-4 age group. The sex ratio was overwhelmingly male (M:F ratio was 38:1). Right sided @entity547 were predominant. Only 7% had a family history. The peak age group of the mothers was 26-32 years and about 33% of the mothers had some illness during pregnancy. The birth positions of the @entity1 showed that majority of them were either 1st or 2nd born @entity1 . CONCLUSION: @entity1 of ages 26-32 likelyto have @entity1 with @entity169 . Malaria during pregnancy is unlikely to have a role to play. 1st and 2nd born male @entity1 have a higher chance of having @entity169 .
