Jorieke Bergmann
The study aims to determine the prevalence of choanal atresia / stenosis in EUROCAT data over 1980-2019 and to study trends over time. The characteristics of choanal atresia / stenosis cases will also be described (including type of birth, gender, gestational length, birth weight, one-week survival, prenatal diagnosis, others). Finally, potential risk factors will be studied.
