Résumé
Precise and correct classification of congenital anomalies is important in epidemiological studies, not only to classify according to etiology but also to group similar congenital anomalies together, to create homogeneous subgroups for surveillance and research. This paper presents the updated EUROCAT (European surveillance of congenital anomalies) subgroups of congenital anomalies and the updated multiple congenital anomaly (MCA) algorithm and provides the underlying arguments for the revisions. The EUROCAT methodology is described. In addition, we show how we validated the revised EUROCAT subgroups and MCA algorithm, which are both based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD10/ICD9) codes. The updated EUROCAT subgroups and the updated MCA algorithm are described in detail and the updated version is compared to the previous versions. The EUROCAT subgroups and MCA algorithm provide a standardized and clear methodology for congenital anomaly research and epidemiological surveillance of congenital anomalies in order to facilitate the identification of teratogenic exposures and to assess the impact of primary prevention and prenatal screening policies. The EUROCAT subgroups and MCA algorithm are made freely available for other researchers via the EUROCAT Database Management Software.

The EUROCAT subgroups and MCA algorithm provide a standardized and clear methodology for congenital anomaly research and epidemiological surveillance of congenital anomalies in order to facilitate the identification of teratogenic exposures and to assess the impact of primary prevention and prenatal screening policies.
