Overview
Birth Defects in Victoria is a biennial report produced by the Victorian Perinatal Data Collection Unit (VPDCU). The VPDCU maintains the Victorian Birth Defects Register (VBDR). The VBDR collects data on all birth defects for livebirths, stillbirths and terminations of pregnancy occurring since January 1 1982, irrespective of the age at diagnosis, up to 15 years of age. These reports provide information relating to key maternal and infant factors associated with birth defects.
