  • Title: [Prevention of neural tube defects with periconceptional folic acid supplementation in Europe].
    Author: Christiansen M, Garne E.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2005 Aug 08; 167(32):2875-6. PubMed ID: 16109189.
    Abstract:
    The conclusion of a report recently published by EUROCAT is that the potential for preventing neural tube defects with periconceptional folic acid supplementation is still far from being fulfilled in Europe. A number of recommendations to increase periconceptional folate status are made. In Denmark less than 20% of pregnant women follow the official recommendations on periconceptional folic acid supplementation, making the conclusions of the EUROCAT report relevant.
