End-result of routine ultrasound screening for congenital anomalies: the Belgian Multicentric Study 1984-92.

Five ultrasound laboratories from Obstetrics and Gynecology departments of Belgian university hospitals or affiliated institutions conducted a prospective study from 1984 to 1992 in which the results of prenatal ultrasound examinations were compared to examination reports of the neonates. The results of the period 1984-89 (PI) have been published previously, and those of the period 1990-92 (PII) are presented here. Some very minor congenital anomalies, as listed and defined in the EUROCAT Register, were excluded.
