Study Findings on Orthopedics Reported by a Researcher at University of British Columbia (Incidence of Congenital Limb Reduction Defects: A Systematic Review).

A systematic review conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, focused on the incidence of Congenital Limb Reduction Defects (CLRDs) in the English literature. The study analyzed 100 papers and found an average pooled incidence rate of 4.48 per 10,000, with the highest incidence in Western Asia and the lowest in Eastern Asia. The research highlighted the importance of screening, standardized classification systems, and healthcare resource requirements for CLRDs.
