Epidemiology of Pierre‐Robin sequence in Europe: A population‐based EUROCAT study
Santoro, Michele; Coi, Alessio; Barišić, Ingeborg; Pierini, Anna; Addor, Marie‐Claude; Baldacci, Silvia; Ballardini, Elisa; Boban, Ljubica; Braz, PaulaBackground: Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a rare congenital anomaly. Respiratory disorders and feeding difficulties represent the main burden. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of PRS using a cohort of cases from EUROCAT, the European network of population-based registries of congenital anomalies. Methods: We analysed cases of PRS born in the period 1998-2017 collected by 29 ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of DW malformation, using data from the European population-based registries of congenital anomalies in the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies network.

Morris, Joan K.; Wellesley, Diana G.; Barisic, Ingeborg; Addor, Marie-Claude; Bergman, Jorieke E.H.; Braz, Paula; Cavero-Carbonell, ClaraObjectives: To describe the epidemiology and geographical differences in prevalence of congenital cerebral anomalies in Europe. Design and setting: Congenital cerebral anomalies (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision code Q04) recorded in 29 population-based EUROCAT registries conducting surveillance of 1.7 million births per annum (29% of all European births). Participants: All birth outcomes...
Epidemiology of achondroplasia: a population‐based study in Europe
Coi, Alessio; Santoro, Michele; Garne, Ester; Pierini, Anna; Addor, Marie‐Claude; Alessandri, Jean‐Luc; Bergman, Jorieke E.H.; Bianchi, FabrizioAchondroplasia is a rare genetic disorder resulting in short-limb skeletal dysplasia. We present the largest European population-based epidemiological study to date using data provided by the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT) network. All cases of achondroplasia notified to 28 EUROCAT registries (1991-2015) were included in the study. Prevalence, birth outcomes, prenatal diagnosis, associa...
