In the registry governance mapping, which registry corresponds to the case definition?

• A. Tremolite Asbestos Registry
• B. Birth Defects Registry
• C. Intestinal Transplant Registry
• D. Breast Health Registry

Answer: (B)

Case definitions provide the inclusion criteria that determine what counts as a case in a registry. In registry governance mapping, the registry that directly uses a standardized set of criteria to classify congenital abnormalities aligns with this concept. The Birth Defects Registry collects data on congenital birth defects and applies explicit birth defect definitions to identify cases, ensuring consistent counting across sites. The Tremolite Asbestos Registry centers on exposure and related diseases, not a standardized birth defect case definition; the Intestinal Transplant Registry tracks transplant recipients and procedures; the Breast Health Registry focuses on breast health and screening outcomes rather than a formal birth-defect case definition. Therefore, Birth Defects Registry is the best match.
