The risk of skin infections is significantly raised for the `other solid tumours' with 6/14 cases being diagnosed with Wilm's tumour. Two linked exposures, poor Apgar scores (4-6) at 1 min, and birth asphyxia (ICD-10 P21), had significantly raised OR for the leukaemias and ALLs, except for Apgars 4-6 for the ALLs which only approached significance (see Table 4).
