Data Scope The NCADC is a national data collection on babies with a congenital anomaly. It is based on cases of congenital anomalies reported to state and territory data collections including congenital anomaly registers, perinatal data collections and admitted patient data collections. The scope of the NCADC includes births (both live births and stillbirths) with a diagnosed congenital anomaly and terminations of pregnancy due to a congenital anomaly (if this is available). This includes conditions in the relevant edition of the ICD10-AM, including Chapter 17 (Q00- Q99), P35 (congenital viral diseases) and P371 (congenital toxoplasmosis). |
