Register of congenital heart disease in Croatia

Since 1979 congenital heart defects (CHD) have been followed in Europe by EUROCAT study (European Registry Of Congenital Anomalies and Twins). EUROCAT study is population register of CHD based on 21 regional center in 11 european countries and includs 240 000 labors per year. We formed Register of CHD in Croatia on EUROCAT study model because of high quality of their pattern and our goal to be part of EUROCAT study some time in the future. It is formed not only as population register but also as hospital register that includes details of patient diagnoses, treatment and enables us to make life -survival curves. Conclusion: The incidence of CHD in Croatia (8 0/00) corelates to world data as well as the most common diagnoses, VSD followed by ASD. The aim of Register is to establish base for follow up of children with CHD for whole country
