Forthcoming publications

This annual release by Public Health Scotland focusses on congenital conditions. It provides current best estimates of the number of babies with serious conditions among pregnancies ending in Scotland in 2021 and 2022. For the first time, data on congenital conditions have been sourced from the new national register of babies with congenital and rare conditions in Scotland (the CARDRISS register). In June 2023 the CARDRISS register began registering babies with relevant conditions from pregnancies ending in January 2021 onwards. Previously best estimates of the occurrence of major congenital conditions among pregnancies Scotland were derived from the Scottish Linked Congenital Condition Dataset (SLiCCD), which was created by Public Health Scotland in 2018 as an interim solution until CARDRISS was launched in 2023. Like CARDRISS, SLiCCD was maintained by Public Health Scotland and it drew from existing national health records to provide best estimates of the occurrence of major congenital conditions among pregnancies ending in Scotland from 2000-2021. As Public Health Scotland transitions to using a new national registry for the monitoring and reporting of congenital conditions in Scotland, the release includes a supporting technical report in which we compare estimates produced using SLiCCD with the CARDRISS register and describe implications for data interpretation.
