BINOCAR launches its third annual surveillance report on congenital anomalies
6 September 2013
BINOCAR has launched the third annual surveillance report on congenital anomalies using data from six regional registers (CARIS, CAROBB, EMSYCAR, NorCAS, SWCAR, WANDA) for 2011. This report contains information on the number and prevalence of congenital anomalies, trends over time, timing of diagnosis and outcome, rates of terminations of pregnancy, prenatal detection rates of FASP anomalies, infant mortality, maternal age, geographical variations and a spotlight on congenital diaphragmatic hernia. There are also separate chapters using data from the two disease specific registers, NDSCR which has data on Down, Patau and Edwards syndromes for England and Wales and the CRANE database which has data on cleft lip and palate for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
