Mean prevalence values for severe intellectual disability for the birth years 1990 till 2002 were compared across databases. Results Methods of case recruitment and diagnosis differed across databases, but classification of intellectual disability and completeness were similar. Severe intellectual disability ( IQ <50) prevalence estimates were significantly ( p <0.001) different across databases (south‐east France: 3.3 out of 1000; south‐west France: 3.0 out of 1000; Latvia: 3.9 out of 1000; Ireland: 5.0 out of 1000; and Iceland 5.1 out of 1000). Interpretation In spite of differences in diagnosis and case inclusion across databases, the construction of a common database for severe intellectual disability was deemed feasible through harmonization of certain criteria, such as age, and through restriction to those with severe intellectual disability.
