Database objective | |
Main objective |
The registry's primary objective is to conduct epidemiological surveillance of congenital malformations
in Auvergne, with a role of sounding the alert when any environmental teratogenic agents become evident. With the development of prevention measures - particularly in the field of prenatal diagnosis - this surveillance-alert mission has gradually been extended to include an essential role in evaluating the impact of public health policies with regards to perinatal care on the population. The registry also helps to improve knowledge in the field of malformations by collaborating on studies with specialist clinical departments (particularly genetic and foetal medicine departments) and by being involved in the Multidisciplinary Center for Prenatal Diagnosis in Clermont- Ferrand (the registry's data provides food for thought from obstetricians on the meaning and action to take when certain malformations are observed during prenatal diagnosis). Lastly, the registry's data informs healthcare stakeholders and the public authorities about congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities. |
Inclusion criteria | All malformed children are listed, whether stillborn or a live birth after a pregnancy of at least 22 weeks of amenorrhoea, or in the event of therapeutic abortion due to foetal malformation, regardless of term. For children who are born alive, the malformation diagnosis must have been made before the end of their first year of life (infants may be recorded up to 12 months after their birth). All types of malformation are included, whether these concern isolated or polymalformative syndromes, whether or not identified, with normal or abnormal karyotype. The only types to be excluded are inborn metabolic errors and minor malformations or deformations (snapping hips without real dislocation, deformed feet, small superficial naevi or angiomas less than 4cm2, inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia not requiring surgery, isolated persistent ductus arteriosus in premature infants weighing less than 2.5kg, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, single umbilical artery, uni- or bilateral ectopic testis). |
