Maternal exposure to Chlamydia during pregnancy was weakly associated with a higher risk of CCHDs in the offspring. The finding should be interpreted with caution due to limitations of birth certificate data. Future studies using more robust data sources are warranted to further study the association between maternal Chlamydia during pregnancy and CCHDs in the offspring.
