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