Surveillance of multiple congenital anomalies; searching for new associations
Morris, Joan K.; Bergman, Jorieke E.H.; Barisic, Ingeborg; Wellesley, Diana; Tucker, David; Limb, Elizabeth; Addor, Marie-ClaudeMany human teratogens are associated with a spectrum of congenital anomalies rather than a single defect, and therefore the identification of congenital anomalies occurring together more frequently than expected may improve the detection of teratogens. Thirty-two EUROCAT congenital anomaly registries covering 6,599,765 births provided 123,566 cases with one or more major congenital anomalies (excluding chromoso...
COVID-19 and children with congenital anomalies: a European survey of parents’ ...
Latos-Bieleńska, Anna; Marcus, Elena; Jamry-Dziurla, Anna; Rankin, Judith; Barisic, Ingeborg; Cavero- Carbonell, Clara; Den Hond, Elly; Garne, EsterObjective: To survey parents and carers of children with a congenital anomaly across Europe about their experiences of healthcare services and support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Cross-sectional study.

Prevalence of vascular disruption anomalies and association with young maternal...
Morris, Joan K.; Wellesley, Diana; Limb, Elizabeth; Bergman, Jorieke E.H.; Kinsner‐Ovaskainen, Agnieszka; Addor, Marie Claude; Broughan, Jennifer M.Background: Younger mothers are at a greater risk of having a pregnancy with gastroschisis and the risk is higher in the United Kingdom than other European countries. Gastroschisis is thought to be a vascular disruption anomaly and the aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of other possible vascular disruption anomalies to determine whether both the younger maternal age and the UK associations also oc...
EUROlinkCAT protocol for a European population-based data linkage study investi...
Morris, Joan K; Garne, Ester; Loane, Maria; Barisic, Ingeborg; Densem, James; Latos-Bieleńska, Anna; Neville, Amanda; Pierini, Anna; Rankin, JudithIntroduction: Congenital anomalies (CAs) are a major cause of infant mortality, childhood morbidity and long-term disability. Over 130 000 children born in Europe every year will have a CA. This paper describes the EUROlinkCAT study, which is investigating the health and educational outcomes of children with CAs for the first 10 years of their lives. Methods and analysis: EUROCAT is a European network of popula...
Methadone, Pierre Robin sequence and other congenital anomalies: case-control s...
Cleary, Brian; Loane, Maria; Addor, Marie-Claude; Barisic, Ingeborg; de Walle, Hermien E.K.; Matias Dias, Carlos; Gatt, Miriam; Klungsoyr, KariObjective: Methadone is a vital treatment for women with opioid use disorder in pregnancy. Previous reports suggested an association between methadone exposure and Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), a rare craniofacial anomaly. We assessed the association between gestational methadone exposure and PRS. Design/setting: This case-malformed control study used European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies population-base...
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 ...
