In our ongoing effort to describe more population healthcare databases, we now have profiles from 36 countries.
Our newest profile, the Malta Congenital Anomalies Register (MCAR) captures major birth defect data from all hospitals on the Maltese Islands via case report forms on an active and passive basis. Over the 2003-2012 period, out of 40,493 live births, a total of 1,184 babies with major congenital anomalies were registered with MCAR.
