Evaluate the feasibility of expanding a population-based birth defects surveillance system to incorporate data from existing records on fetal deaths; 2.

Serve as a registry for etiologic studies of fetal deaths (note that no research studies are planned under this project); and 4.

B. Eligible Applicant In 2004, the state of Iowa passed legislation to add stillbirths to the information that the state collects for its birth registries. The Iowa birth defects monitoring program is an active ascertainment system that was established in 1983. The monitoring program currently collects data on fetal deaths related to birth defects, and can be expanded to include all fetal death data. This model program is a center for excellence in birth defects surveillance, the largest case control study on birth defects in the United States. H.R. Conf. Rep.
