Socio-occupational class region of birth and maternal age: influence on time to detection of cryptorchidism (undescended testes): a Danish nationwide register study

摘要

BackgroundCryptorchidism (undescended testes) is associated with poor male fertility, but can be alleviated and fertility preserved to some degree by early detection and treatment. Here we assess the influence of socio-occupational class, geographical region, maternal age and birth cohort on time to detection and correction of cryptorchidism.
