EUROCAT (medicine)

EUROCAT is a European organization that describes itself as "a network of population-based registries for the epidemiological surveillance of congenital anomalies, covering 1.5 million births in 20 countries of Europe".^[1]

They were founded in 1979, with the goal of improving the collection of data about congenital disorders, and the standardization of that data.^[2]^[3]

They have published extensions to ICD-10 Chapter Q, which helps to provide unique codes for individual conditions.

As of 2006^[update], approximately a quarter of new births in the European Union are reported to EUROCAT.^[4]
