Feb 14, 2023: We now have the Estonian Drug Treatment Register profile for you

The Estonian Drug Treatment Register was established in 2020. All health care providers treating drug dependence are required to send notification to the Register when starting or finishing a treatment episode. Each record contains personal identifiers (name and unique ID-code assigned to all residents of Estonia), socio-demographic characteristics, drugs used, date and code of diagnosis (ICD-10), as well as data on treatment episode.

Feb 9, 2023: Our 14th profile from Sweden has been uploaded

The Registry for Monitoring Fetal Damage and Chromosomal Abnormalities contains information on birth defects since 1964. Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register are available since 1973, and data from the Swedish Patient Register are available since 1987. This specific register contains information on newborns, live births and stillborn children, who have a gestational age of at least 22 completed weeks of pregnancy and who have congenital malformations, deformities and chromosomal abnormalities.
