aRegistries with incomplete data: Ukraine only for 2005–2010, Isle de la Reunion only for 2002–2010, Valencia region only for 2007–2010

b Registries that include cases with congenital anomalies diagnosed in the neonatal period and not thereafter (Emilia Romagna: 2001–2009, in 2010 inclusion of cases up to 1 year of age)

c Trend description symbols: ↓ decreasing temporal trend, ↑ increasing temporal trend, H heterogeneous in time, – no significant change in prevalence over time

d Inclusion criteria: 1 = excluded isolated glandular hypospadias prior to 2005 according to original EUROCAT coding guidelines, 2 = registered all types of hypospadias in the entire study period, and 3 = other policy (Malta: 2001–2003 recorded glandular and coronal hypospadias only if surgical correction was planned/performed, 2004–2010 always recorded glandular and coronal hypospadias; Vaud: 2001–2010 recorded glandular hypospadias only if surgical correction was planned/performed; Ukraine: 2005–2007 did not record glandular and coronal hypospadias, 2008–2010 always recorded glandular and coronal hypospadias; Wessex: 2001–2010 recorded glandular and coronal hypospadias only if surgical correction was planned/performed)

e Mean percentage of unspecified subtype of hypospadias 2001–2010
