Proposed Project
The Natural History of Spina Bifida in
Children Pilot Project—New—National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Spina Bifida (SB) is one of the most
common birth defects, affecting
approximately 2 per 10,000 live births
in the United States annually. To date,
there are no U.S. population-based
cohort studies or programs on the
natural history of SB. This is of
importance because persons with SB
often experience condition-specific
difficulties and secondary conditions
that detrimentally affect several aspects
of their lives. The long-term purpose of
this project is to increase the knowledge
about the natural history of Spina Bifida
