Fig 7. European Region Neural Tube Defects Prevalence Estimates (Location, Number of Hospitals).

Fig 7

The majority of data from the European region was population based. All data based on hospital studies from regions is indicated with the number of hospitals. If there were national or regional data available for more than one NTD, the entire country or region was filled-in based on the prevalence per 10,000 births. In instances where multiple prevalence estimates were available at the national level, the prevalence reported by the study/report with the least risk-of-bias was selected. Countries colored in grey are not a part of the World Health Organization region. A national study from Israel is not represented on this map since it only provided prevalence by ethnicity.
