- BACKGROUND: 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 by year and by type of birth. This article describes the organization and activities of each of the current 29 full member and 6 associate member registries of EUROCAT. METHODS: Each registry description provides information on the history and funding of the registry, population coverage including any changes in coverage over time, sources for ascertaining cases of congenital anomalies, and upper age limit for registering cases of congenital anomalies. It also details the legal requirements relating to termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies, the definition of stillbirths and fetal deaths, and the prenatal screening policy within the registry. Information on availability of exposure information and denominators is provided. The registry description describes how each registry conforms to the laws and guidelines regarding ethics, consent, and confidentiality issues within their own jurisdiction. Finally, information on electronic and web-based data capture, recent registry activities, and publications relating to congenital anomalies, along with the contact details of the registry leader, are provided. CONCLUSIONS: The registry description gives a detailed account of the organizational and operational aspects of each registry and is an invaluable resource that aids interpretation and evaluation of registry prevalence data.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aims: To study the cumulative incidence of hospitalization for severe diabetic vascular complications in childhood onset type 1 diabetes patients with special regards to age at onset and gender. Methods: The Swedish Childhood Diabetes Register (SCDR) was linked to the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register up to 31 December 2004. The following diagnoses were traced: diabetic kidney disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, lower limb arterial disease and diabetes with multiple complications. Cox proportional hazards survival method was applied with the following covariates: maternal age, birthweight deviation from gestational week standard, age at onset and gender. Results: Until 31 December 9974 children had been followed for at least 10 years corresponding to 141 839 person years at risk and 103 (7.3 per 1000 person years) had been hospitalized at least once at the maximum duration of follow-up of 26 years. Diabetic kidney disease was the most common cause of hospitalization and 63 patients had more than one diabetic complication. Female gender (RR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.05-3.89) and age at onset of diabetes (RR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.20-1.56) were significant risk factors for severe complication. Conclusions: Hospitalization for severe diabetic complications at a maximum follow-up of 26 years is rather low in Sweden. There is a higher hospitalization rate among females than among males, and also among patients diagnosed with diabetes after 10 years of age than among patients diagnosed before the age of 10 years.

- Objective. To summarize data on deliveries after IVF performed in Sweden up to 2006. Design. Cohort study of women and children, conceived after IVF with comparisons of deliveries after IVF before and after April 1, 2001. Setting. Study based on Swedish health registers. Population. Births registered in the Swedish Medical Birth Register with information on IVF from all IVF clinics in Sweden. Methods. Results from the second study period are summarized and outcomes between the two periods are compared. Long term follow-up is based on data from both periods. Main outcome measures. Maternal and perinatal outcomes, long term sequels. Results. Some maternal pregnancy complications decreased in rate, notably preeclampsia and PROM. The rate of multiple births and preterm births decreased dramatically with a better neonatal outcome, including neonatal mortality. No difference in outcome existed between IVF and ICSI or between the use of fresh and cryopreserved embryos, but children born after blastocyst transfer had a slightly higher risk for preterm birth and congenital malformations than children born after cleavage stage transfer. An increased risk for cerebral palsy, possibly for attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, for impaired visual acuity, and for childhood cancer was noted but these outcomes were rare also after IVF. An increased risk for asthma was demonstrated. No effect on maternal cancer risk was seen. Conclusions. A marked decrease in multiple births was the main reason for better pregnancy and neonatal outcome and may also have a beneficial effect on long-term results, notably cerebral palsy.

- Background: The aim was to identify maternal risk factors in women giving birth to girls with Turner syndrome (TS) and to describe the characteristics of newborns with TS. Methods: The Swedish Genetic Turner Register was cross-linked with the Swedish Medical Birth Register. Between 1973 and 2005, 494 children with TS were born. Maternal age, parity, height, smoking habits and neonatal characteristics; mode of delivery, gestational age, size at birth and Apgar score, were compared with women in the general population who gave birth to girls during the same period. Results: More women with advanced maternal age (40+) delivered girls with TS, 3.2% when compared with 1.8% in the general population OR 1.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09-3.08, after adjustment for year of birth. Maternal height was inversely associated with TS pregnancies (P = 0.005). Late preterm birth occurred in newborns with TS in 10.5% when compared with 4.8% in the general population (OR 2.23; 95% CI: 1.67-2.97, after adjustment for year of birth and maternal age). Newborns with TS had birthweight less than -2SD in 17.8% and birth length less than -2SD in 21.0% when compared with 3.5 and 3.4%, in the general population (OR 6.55; 95% CI: 5.12-8.38 and OR 8.69; 95% CI: 6.89-10.97, after adjustment for year of birth and maternal age). Conclusion: Advanced maternal age and short stature were risk factors for giving birth to a girl with TS. More TS girls were born late preterm and were smaller for gestational age than non-TS girls in the general population.

- Background. To study group B streptococcus (GBS) colonisation in parturients and infants in relation to obstetric outcome and to define serotypes and antibiotic resistance in GBS isolates acquired. Methods. A population-based, national cohort of parturients and their infants was investigated. During 1 calendar week in 2005 all women giving birth (n=1,754) were requested to participate in the study. Results. A total of 1,569 mother/infant pairs with obstetric and bacteriological data were obtained. Maternal carriage rate was 25.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 23.3-27.6). In GBS-positive mothers with vaginal delivery and no intrapartum antibiotics, the infant colonisation rate was 68%. Some 30% of infants were colonised after acute caesarean section, and 0% were colonised after an elective procedure. Duration of transport of maternal recto/vaginal swabs of more than 1 day impeded culture sensitivity. Infant mMales were more frequently colonised than females (76.9 versus 59.8%, odds ratio (OR): 2.16; 95% CI: 1.27-3.70), as were infants born after rupture of membranes >/=24 h (p =0.039). Gestational age, birth weight and duration of labor did not significantly influence infant colonisation. Some 30% of parturients with at least one risk factor for neonatal disease received intrapartum antibiotics. The most common GBS serotypes were type III and V. Some 5% of the isolates were resistant to clindamycin and erythromycin, respectively. Conclusions. Maternal GBS prevalence and infant transfer rate were high in Sweden. Males were more frequently colonised than females. The sensitivity of maternal cultures decreased with the duration of sample transport. Clindamycin resistance was scarce. The use of intrapartum antibiotics was limited in parturients with obstetric risk factors for early onset group B streptococcal disease.
