If a baby has more than one anomaly, it will occur in more than one row in the table. However, it will be counted only once in each hierarchical grouping of anomalies.
As a baby can occur in more than one row, the numbers of Induced Abortions cannot be taken to infer cases of termination for that anomaly, only cases where an anomaly was present in a terminated fetus.
