OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of neonatal circumcision
immediately following delisting of the procedure in Ontario and
to examine parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours regarding
circumcision. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Perinatal
tertiary care centre in southwestern Ontario. PARTICIPANTS: Of the
151 mothers approached, three were excluded because they did not
speak English and two declined participation; 112 of 146 mothers
of healthy male newborns responded for a response rate of 77%. MAIN
OUTCOME MEASURES: Circumcision status of infant and parents' knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviour. RESULTS: The circumcision rate before
delisting had been 56.2%; in the months immediately after, the rate
was 59.8% (95% confidence interval was 51%, 69%). Mothers of infants
in the outcome groups did not differ significantly in any demographic
feature other than education, where the group deciding against circumcision
reported higher education levels (Wilcoxon nonparametic two-sample
test: zeta = 2.29, P = 0.02). Mothers who chose circumcision listed
medical (59%) and sociocultural considerations (40%) a most important
to their decision. Father's circumcision status was strongly associated
with the infant's (chi 2[df 1] = 25.13, P = 0.0001). Although 74%
discussed circumcision with their family physicians, many parents
were not well informed about risks or benefits. Anesthetic use during
circumcision was reported by 29%, but 48% did not know whether any
had been used. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of neonatal circumcision
did not change after delisting. Informed consent was often lacking.
Sociocultural issues are important to some parents and need to be
addressed in the consultation process.
