Abstract
We evaluated the association between mothers' use of multivitamin supplements and their infants' risk for omphalocele, a congenital anomaly of the abdominal wall. Omphalocele can occur in certain multiple congenital anomaly patterns with neural tube defects, for which a protective effect of multivitamins with folic acid has been demonstrated.
