| Florida Notes on Specific Birth Defects |
|
| Defect | Site Comment |
|---|---|
| Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) | Pulmonary atresia with a ventricular septal defect was included as Tetralogy of Fallot. |
| Ventricular septal defect | Data for this condition include probable cases. |
| Atrioventricular septal defect (endocardial cushion defect) | Data for this condition include canal type atrioventricular septal defect. |
| Pulmonary valve atresia | Cases with Tetralogy of Fallot or ventricular septal defect were excluded. |
| Tricuspid valve atresia and stenosis | Data for this condition include congenital tricuspid stenosis. |
| Tricuspid valve atresia | Data for this condition include congenital tricuspid stenosis. |
| Gastroschisis | Data for this condition may differ from previous reports due to ICD-9-CM coding system changes. |
| Omphalocele | Data for this condition may differ from previous reports due to ICD-9-CM coding system changes. |
| Hypospadias | Hypospadias prevalence per 10,000 male live births. |
| Turner syndrome | Turner syndrome prevalence per 10,000 female live births. Excludes male phenotype. |
| Congenital posterior urethral valves | Congenital posterior urethral valve prevalence per 10,000 male live births. |
| Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) | For interrupted aortic arch (IAA), Florida has decided NEVER to use the Q25.2 and Q25.4 codes due to lack of specificity for IAA. |
| Universal comment | Total live births includes unknown gender. |
| Universal comment | Only live birth outcomes are considered. Linkage rates between birth certificates and hospital discharge data, which are used to identify codes indicative of birth defects went down during the 2018-2022 study period, which could result in an artifical decrease in defect rates. |
