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...
Prevention of Neural Tube Defects in Europe: A Public Health Failure
Morris, Joan K.; Addor, Marie-Claude; Ballardini, Elisa; Barisic, Ingeborg; Barrachina-Bonet, Laia; Braz, Paula; Cavero-Carbonell, Clara; Den Hond, EllyObjective: Thirty years ago it was demonstrated that folic acid taken before pregnancy and in early pregnancy reduced the risk of a neural tube defect (NTD). Despite Public Health Initiatives across Europe recommending that women take 0.4 mg folic acid before becoming pregnant and during the first trimester, the prevalence of NTD pregnancies has not materially decreased in the EU since 1998, in contrast to the ...
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...
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...
Prevalence of microcephaly in Europe: population based study
Morris, Joan K.; Rankin, Judith; Garne, Ester; Loane, Maria; Greenlees, Ruth; Addor, Marie-Claude; Arriola, Larraitz; Barisic, IngeborgObjectives: To provide contemporary estimates of the prevalence of microcephaly in Europe, determine if the diagnosis of microcephaly is consistent across Europe, and evaluate whether changes in prevalence would be detected using the current European surveillance performed by EUROCAT (the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies). Design: Questionnaire and population based observational study. Setting: 24 ...
