This outbreak, and the subsequent containment policies, may have a range of potential short\u2010 and long\u2010term impacts on the monitoring and surveillance of other conditions, such as birth defects. In this commentary, we provide a perspective on these potential impacts on birth defects surveillance and analysis. We discuss possible effects on clinical birth defect diagnoses, routine birth defects surveillance system activities, and epidemiologic considerations, as well as opportunities for mitigating the impact of COVID\u201019. Like many other sectors of public health and medicine, birth defects surveillance programs may be faced with organizational and methodological obstacles in the wake of a changing landscape. A better understanding of these potential challenges faced by birth defects surveillance programs could facilitate better planning and collaboration across programs to overcome barriers to core activities and to prepare for novel opportunities for research and prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bdr2.1710","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,16]],"date-time":"2020-05-16T14:58:42Z","timestamp":1589641122000},"page":"1039-1042","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Perspectives on challenges and opportunities for birth defects surveillance programs during and after the <scp>COVID<\/scp>\u201019 era"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"112","author":[{"given":"Katherine L.","family":"Ludorf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Genetics Center, Department of Epidemiology Human Genetics and Environmental Sciences, UTHealth School of Public Health  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0077-6023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jason L.","family":"Salemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Birth Defects Surveillance Program, College of Public Health University of South Florida  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3489-401X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Russell S.","family":"Kirby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Birth Defects Surveillance Program, College of Public Health University of South Florida  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean Paul","family":"Tanner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Birth Defects Surveillance Program, College of Public Health University of South Florida  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5874-4155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.
