Congenital disorders (often also called birth defects) are an important cause of mortality and disability. They encompass a wide range of disorders with differing severity that can affect any aspect of structure or function. Understanding their epidemiology is important in developing appropriate services both for their prevention and treatment. The need for epidemiological data on congenital disorders has been recognised for many decades. Here, we provide a historical overview of work that has led to the development of the Modell Global Database of Congenital Disorders (MGDb)-a tool that can be used to generate evidence-based country, regional and global estimates of the birth prevalence and outcomes of congenital disorders
