| Texas Notes on Specific Birth Defects |
|
| Defect | Site Comment |
|---|---|
| Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) | Includes any pulmonary valve atresia with co-occurring ventricular septal defect. |
| Ventricular septal defect | Inlet VSD code was added in July 2019. Prior to July 2019, we are unable to distinguish inlet VSD from other types of VSD. |
| Pulmonary valve atresia | Excludes pulmonary valve atresia with co-occurring ventricular septal defect or tetralogy of Fallot. |
| Choanal atresia | May include stenosis. |
| Hypospadias | Data for this condition include male and unknown gender cases only. |
| Turner syndrome | Data for this condition include female and unknown gender cases only. |
| Congenital posterior urethral valves | Data for this condition include male and unknown gender cases only. |
| Universal comment | Texas only reports definite diagnoses for all defects reported. Possible/probable diagnoses are not included. |
| Universal comment | Texas case definition includes livebirths, stillbirths, and terminations at any length of gestation and any birthweight. |
