Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis mainly seen in children, with a specific risk for coronary artery involvement. Atypical symptoms can sometimes result in missed diagnoses, delaying necessary treatment and increasing the chances of serious cardiovascular complications.

Congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs) are a rare heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that typically present with severe chronic diarrhea during the first weeks of life. As a broad range of illnesses can present similarly in infants, establishing a definitive cause for CODEs is challenging. In this report, two infants were suspected to have CODE, with neonatal-onset chronic diarrhea and protein-losing enteropathy finally found to be due to intestinal malrotation and chronic midgut volvulus.

Background: Although accessing administrative data in healthcare databases may be a more time-efficient and cost-effective method of conducting surveillance, there is evidence suggesting that administrative data alone are not sufficient for population-based surveillance of congenital anomalies.
Objective: To propose recommendations to maximise the potential use of healthcare databases for surveillance of congenital anomalies based on our data linkage experiences and results from the EUROlinkCAT study.
Methods: EUROlinkCAT is a population-based cohort study of 99,416 children with anomalies born between 1995 and 2014.
