Dear All

This is the fourth 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...100/TableDeliveryMum 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

MEMRUP_D Date of rupture of membranes

plus the fields

MEMRUP_T Time of rupture of membranes

TEAR_Y Episiotomy/tear

BM suggests to create two new fields to capture location of delivery (home vs. health facility) and information about who helped in delivery (nurse/midwife, traditional birth attendant, doctor, relative, friend, neighbor, no one).

Further it is not clear how to code MEMRUP_T (as time hh:mm or dichotomous) and whether that information is available at all.

AS also questions whether TEAR_Y is actually needed
