Analysis of early neonatal case fatality rate among newborns with congenital hydrocephalus, a 2000–2014 multi‐country registry‐based study

Congenital hydrocephalus (CH) comprises a heterogeneous group of birth anomalies with a wide‐ranging prevalence across geographic regions and registry type. The aim of the present study was to analyze the early neonatal case fatality rate (CFR) and total birth prevalence of newborns diagnosed with CH.
