the registry was established in november 2022. Currently, we have enrolled about 400 pregnant women, but the registry is growing every day as more healthcare professionals in Belgium are becoming aware of BELpREG and motivate their pregnant patients to participate. Overall, 60 000 pregnant women per year in Flanders, Belgium (i.e., Dutch speaking part of Belgium).
