Maternal age and the prevalence of congenital heart defects in Europe, 1995–201...
Mamasoula, Chrysovalanto; Bigirumurame, Theophile; Chadwick, Thomas; Addor, Marie‐Claude; Cavero‐Carbonell, Clara; Matias Dias, CarlosBackground: Evidence on the direction and strength of association between maternal age and the prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHD) in different age group categories is conflicting. Some studies have illustrated different trends with an increase in prevalence in younger and older age groups while other studies have reported a linear relationship. Given the increase in maternal age over recent years, it ...
Amniotic band syndrome and limb body wall complex in Europe 1980-2019
Bergman, Jorieke E.H.; Barišić, Ingeborg; Addor, Marie‐Claude; Braz, Paula; Cavero‐Carbonell, Clara; Draper, Elizabeth S.Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) and limb body wall complex (LBWC) have an overlapping phenotype of multiple congenital anomalies and their etiology is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence of ABS and LBWC in Europe from 1980 to 2019and to describe the spectrum of congenital anomalies. In addition, we investigated maternal age and multiple birth as possible risk factors for the occurrence of ABS and LBWC. W...
Prevalence of congenital heart defects in Europe, 2008-2015: A registry‐based s...
Mamasoula, Chrysovalanto; Addor, Marie‐Claude; Carbonell, Clara Cavero; Matias Dias, Carlos; Echevarría‐González‐de‐Garibay, Luis‐Javier; Gatt, MiriamBackground: The total prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) varies by populations and over time. Studies that examine trends in the prevalence of CHD in different regions may shed light on our understanding of the occurrence of CHD and the impact of different risk factors. Objectives: To examine trends in total and live birth prevalence of nonsyndromic CHD in Europe between the years 2008 and 2015 and t...
Epidemiology of aplasia cutis congenita: A population‐based study in Europe
Coi, Alessio; Barisic, Ingeborg; Garne, Ester; Pierini, Anna; Addor, Marie‐Claude; Aizpurua Atxega, Amaia; Ballardini, Elisa; Braz, PaulaBackground: Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by localized or widespread absence of skin at birth, mainly affecting the scalp. Most information about ACC exists as individual case reports and medium-sized studies. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of ACC, using data from a large European network of population-based registries for congenital anoma...
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 ...
Maternal risk factors for the VACTERL association: a EUROCAT case-control study
van de Putte, Romy; van Rooij, Iris A.L.M.; Haanappel, Cynthia P.; Marcelis, Carlo L.M.; Brunner, Han G.; Addor, Marie‐Claude; Cavero‐Carbonell, ClaraBackground: The VACTERL association (VACTERL) is the nonrandom occurrence of at least three of these congenital anomalies: vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophageal, renal, and limb anomalies. Despite suggestions for involvement of several genes and nongenetic risk factors from small studies, the etiology of VACTERL remains largely unknown. Objective: To identify maternal risk factors for VACTERL in offspring...
Epidemiology of Dandy-Walker Malformation in Europe: A EUROCAT Population-Based...
Santoro, Michele; Coi, Alessio; Barišić, Ingeborg; Garne, Ester; Addor, Marie-Claude; Bergman, Jorieke E.H.; Bianchi, Fabrizio; Boban, LjubicaBackground: Dandy-Walker (DW) malformation is a rare and severe congenital anomaly of the posterior fossa affecting the development of the cerebellum and the fourth ventricle. 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. Method...
Spectrum of congenital anomalies among VACTERL cases: a EUROCAT population-base...
van de Putte, Romy; van Rooij, Iris A.L.M.; Marcelis, Carlo L.M.; Guo, Michel; Brunner, Han G.; Addor, Marie-Claude; Cavero-Carbonell, ClaraBackground: The VACTERL (Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Cardiac malformations, Tracheo-Esophageal fistula, Renal anomalies, Limb abnormalities) association is the non-random occurrence of at least three of these congenital anomalies: vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheo-esophageal, renal, and limb anomalies. Diagnosing VACTERL patients is difficult, as many disorders have multiple features in common with VACTE...
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...
Paper 6 - EUROCAT Member Registries: Organization and Activities
Greenless, Ruth; Neville, Amanda; Addor, Marie–Clauder; Amar, Emmanuelleder; Arriola, Larraitz; Bakker, Marian; Barisic, Ingeborg; Boyd, Patricia A.EUROCAT is a network of population-based congenital anomaly registries providing standardized epidemiologic information on congenital anomalies in Europe. There are three types of EUROCAT membership: full, associate, or affiliate. Full member registries send individual records of all congenital anomalies covered by their region. Associate members transmit aggregate case counts for each EUROCAT anomaly subgroup ...
