HFA
The following abbreviations are used in the indicator titles:
•    SDR: age-standardized death rates (see HFA-DB user manual/Technical notes, page 13, for details)
•    FTE: full-time equivalent
•    PP: physical persons
•    PPP$: purchasing power parities expressed in US $, an internationally comparable scale reflecting the relative domestic purchasing powers of currencies.

Measure note En
Number of births with congenital anomalies
Indicator code: E045800.T

Congenital malformations diagnosed within first year of life. ICD-9: Chapter XIV. ICD-10: chapter XVII.

Whenever possible, cases ending with late foetal death and abortion should be included. Multiple malformations should be counted as one case.

It is recognised that national diagnostic, registration and statistical reporting practices vary significantly, therefore the international comparability of these data is limited._

January 2001: Morbidity of childres age 0-1 year has been registered since 1997. Before that
information on morbidity of children age 0-15 was available.

Source: EUROCAT (http://www.eurocat-network.eu/): Registries of Hainaut-Namur (1980-2008) and
Antwerp (1989-2009). Remark: The number was calculated by applying an average of the prevalences
(by 1000 births) of both registries to the total number of births in the country. It is currently
however unclear to what extent the regions of Hainaut, Namur and Antwerp are representative for the
rest of Belgium.

Deviation of definition: The data includes the number of infants treated as in-patients due to
abnormalities in the month of birth (ICD-Pos. Q00-Q99 Congenital malformations, deformations and
chromosomal abnormalities). Infants repeatedly treated as in-patients in the month of birth due to a
congenital malformation in hospital, will also be counted several times.

In 1996 around 86% of the newborns were registered in PRN. In 2009 this percentage was 95%. The
numbers concern deliveries after a gestational age of 22 weeks or more.
This registration only includes congenital anomalies noticed within the first period after birth:
until a week after birth or diagnosed during a hospital admission that started within 28 days after
birth.

Data are not available. These figures will be considered as meaningless for comparing countries. The
Swedish Medical Birth and Malformation Register only registers severe congenital anomalies.
CHE
Based on hospital discharge data. The data take into account the main, but also the supplementary
diagnosis. Source of data: FSO Federal Statistical Office, Neuchatel; Medical Statistics of
Hospitals; yearly census.
Coverage: Full coverage of hospitals; sufficient (nearly full) coverage of inpatient and day cases
since 2002. Due to a modification of the legislation, day cases are not collected in 2009 anymore.
Estimation method: Discharges without a valid ICD-code are not accounted for (negligible).
Break in time series: The gradual change of diagnosis classification since 2008 from ICD-10 WHO to
ICD-10 GM (German Modification) may lead to breaks for some categories.

GBR
England & Wales - National Congenital Anomaly System. Reported by ONS in ?Congenital Anomaly
Statistics?
Scotland - NHS National Services Scotland, Information Services Division (ISD). : Calendar year
from Scottish Stillbirth & Infant Death Survey. ISD has been modifying the way that record linkage
is performed and has recently implemented a technique which relies more heavily on the use of
Community Health Index (CHI) numbers and less heavily on the previous approach of probability
matching. Inevitably, this has changed the number of individuals identified with various conditions.
There has, therefore, been some revision of the congenital anomaly numbers reported from 2007
onwards?.

Coverage: Data prior to 2000 refer to England and Wales only. Data from 2000 refers to Great Britain
only.
Scotland - 2011 data are no longer available
2009 onwards ? Data is no longer available as ONS is no longer producing the source publication.
