What are Some Examples of Successful Birth Defect Registries?
Several successful birth defect registries operate worldwide. The National Birth Defects Prevention Network (NBDPN) in the United States is a collaborative effort that collects and disseminates data on birth defects. In Europe, the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT) provides a comprehensive network for monitoring congenital anomalies. These registries have been instrumental in identifying trends, guiding policy decisions, and improving the health outcomes for affected individuals.
