Abstract
Summary. The California Birth Defects Monitoring Program maintains a population‐based birth defects registry of structural congenital malformations, monitoring over 600000 resident births annually. Cases are actively ascertained from hospitals and genetic centres throughout California and from selected facilities in adjacent states. Field staff identify presumptive cases from careful review of medical records. Diagnostic and demographic information is collected from in‐patient and genetic centre medical charts for children diagnosed with major structural malformations between conception and 1 year of age. The application of these data to epidemiological investigations of birth defects is described in the context of prevalence studies, aetiological studies and evaluative studies, and the strengths and limitations of the registry data are discussed.
