Dear All
This is the third topic with discussions of tables related to pregnant women and pregnancy outcomes in view of potential inclusion of some of the tables/variables in the IeDEA data harmonization efforts.
Please see http://www.hicdep.org/wik...p_1.100/TablePregOut for the current version.
BM suggests to consider the use of the three key fields
MOTHER_ID Patient ID of mother of child
PREG_SEQ Sequence number of the pregnancy for the specified mother
CHILD_ID Patient ID of the child
plus the fields
OUTCOM Pregnancy outcomes
OUTCOM_D Date of birth or termination of pregnancy
B_GAGEW Gestational age in complete weeks at birth or termination
As suggested by AS OUTCOM would also need codes for ectopic pregnancy and IUFD if tblPREG is not used.
BM wonders about the coding of the HIV status since this is based on different tests over a longer time period (up to 18 months). Will this code be revised over time?
