NYS_BD.csv: Birth defects data is provided by the Birth Defects Registry (BDR) (formerly the Congenital Malformations Registry (CMR)), New York State Department of Health For more information about congenital malformations data please visit http://www.health.ny.gov/birthdefects Data fields (in order of which they appear): VARIABLE DESCRIPTION --------- ----------- GEOGRAPHY Geographical unit County DataYears: Range of years. The following list is a crosswalk of the standard BIRTH DEFECT NAME and the corresponding COLUMN NAME in the data file. The columns include counts for each birth defect for the data year range listed in DataYears column and geographical area listed in the Geography column: BIRTH DEFECT NAME COLUMN NAME ----------------- ----------- Anencephaly = Anencephaly Anophthalmia/microphthalmia = Anophthalmia_microphthalmia Anotia/microtia = Anotia_microtia Aortic valve stenosis = Aortic_valve_stenosis Atrial septal defect = Atrial_septal_defect Atrioventricular septal defect (Endocardial cushion defect) = Atrioventricular_septal_defect__ Biliary atresia = Biliary_atresia Bladder exstrophy = Bladder_exstrophy Choanal atresia = Choanal_atresia Cleft lip alone = Cleft_lip_alone Cleft lip with cleft palate = Cleft_lip_with_cleft_palate Cleft palate alone = Cleft_palate_alone Clubfoot = Clubfoot Coarctation of the aorta = Coarctation_of_the_aorta Common truncus (truncus arteriosus) = Common_truncus__truncus_arterios Congenital cataract = Congenital_cataract Congenital posterior urethral valves = Congenital_posterior_urethral_va Craniosynostosis = Craniosynostosis Deletion 22q11.2 = Deletion_22q11_2 Dextro-transposition of great arteries (d-TGA) = Dextro_transposition_of_great_ar Diaphragmatic hernia = Diaphragmatic_hernia Double outlet right ventricle = Double_outlet_right_ventricle Ebstein's anomaly = Ebstein_s_anomaly Encephalocele = Encephalocele Esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula = Esophageal_atresia_tracheoesopha Gastroschisis = Gastroschisis Holoprosencephaly = Holoprosencephaly Hypoplastic left heart syndrome = Hypoplastic_left_heart_syndrome Hypospadias = Hypospadias Interrupted aortic arch = Interrupted_aortic_arch Limb deficiencies (reduction defects) = Limb_deficiencies__reduction_def Omphalocele = Omphalocele Pulmonary valve atresia = Pulmonary_valve_atresia Pulmonary valve atresia and stenosis = Pulmonary_valve_atresia_and_sten Rectal and large intestinal atresia/stenosis = Rectal_and_large_intestinal_atre Renal agenesis/hypoplasia = Renal_agenesis_hypoplasia Single ventricle = Single_ventricle Small intestinal atresia/stenosis = Small_intestinal_atresia_stenosi Spina bifida without anencephaly = Spina_bifida_without_anencephaly Tetralogy of Fallot = Tetralogy_of_Fallot Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection = Total_anomalous_pulmonary_venous Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) = Transposition_of_the_great_arter Tricuspid valve atresia = Tricuspid_valve_atresia Tricuspid valve atresia and stenosis = Tricuspid_valve_atresia_and_sten Trisomy 13 = Trisomy_13 Trisomy 18 = Trisomy_18 Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) = Trisomy_21__Down_syndrome_ Turner syndrome = Turner_syndrome Ventricular septal defect = Ventricular_septal_defect *TotalMaleBirths: Total number of male live births **TotalFemaleBirths: Total number of female live births TotalLiveBirths: Total number of live births *Counts of male births are provided as the appropriate denominator for calculating prevalence for defects affecting males only (Hypospadias, Congenital Posterior Urethral Valves) **Counts of female births are provided as the appropriate denominator for calculating prevalence for defects affecting females only (Turner Syndrome) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Information: ----------------------- Birth defects related to early fetal deaths (gestational age < 20 weeks) and/or terminations are not included in the provided counts. Counts may differ slightly from those presented in other publications. These differences may be due to specific reporting requirements, timing of file updates and routine auditing of hospital discharge records. The auditing process often results in additional reports of cases not previously reported to the BDR.
