Abstract
This study analyzed data from the EUROCAT network of congenital anomaly registries (2008-2016) to identify pairs of anomalies occurring together more frequently than expected. Using a multiple congenital anomaly algorithm, 8804 cases with two or more major anomalies in different organ systems were identified. Statistical analysis revealed 31 significant positive associations. After literature review and case examination, six pairs remained as potential new associations, meriting further investigation.
