We sought to summarize NBDPN peer\u2010reviewed publications and their impact.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We obtained and reviewed a curated list of 49 NBDPN multistate collaborative publications during 2000\u20132022, as of December 31, 2022. Each publication was reviewed and classified by type (e.g., risk factor association analysis).

Until a national birth defects surveillance program is established in the United States, NBDPN collaborative publications remain an important resource for investigating birth defects and informing decisions related to health services planning of secondary disabilities prevention and care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/bdr2.2225","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,26]],"date-time":"2023-07-26T09:14:18Z","timestamp":1690362858000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Scientific impact of the <scp>National Birth Defects Prevention Network<\/scp> multistate collaborative publications"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"116","author":[{"given":"Jacqueline T.","family":"Bascom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Human Genetics, and Environmental Sciences UTHealth School of Public Health  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara B.","family":"Stephens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Human Genetics, and Environmental Sciences UTHealth School of Public Health  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0978-5863","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philip J.","family":"Lupo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Section of Hematology\u2010Oncology Baylor College of Medicine  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark A.","family":"Canfield","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Birth Defects Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch Texas Department of State Health Services  Austin Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3489-401X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Russell S.","family":"Kirby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chiles Center, College of Public Health University of South Florida  Tampa, Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eirini","family":"Nestoridi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Birth Defects Research and Prevention Massachusetts Department of Public Health  Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0077-6023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jason L.","family":"Salemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chiles Center, College of Public Health University of South Florida  Tampa, Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7300-0672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cara T.","family":"Mai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  Atlanta Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8318-4049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wendy N.","family":"Nembhard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Fay W.
