Detailed Description

The Database collects observational baseline data on both mothers and infants, and the therapies used and outcomes of the infants. The information collected is not specific to a disease or treatment. The data collected includes information on:

  • Demographics of mother and infant
  • Mother's health, labor and delivery
  • Infant's health upon admission, procedures and interventions, and medical outcomes

These data are used to: provide member centers with reporting for use in quality improvement; examine associations between baseline characteristics, treatments, and outcomes; and track trends in incidences of disease and effectiveness of therapies.
