How to Better Assess the Real Role of the Environment in Pregnancy, From Past to Future: A Relational Open Data Infrastructure Covering 30,000 Births.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

One of today's challenges in terms of understanding the real impact of the environment on pregnancy and its complications is the ability to work with real-life data that are correctly and extensively connected to data on the contamination of living environments and individualized exposures. We present a solution based on a data infrastructure that is directly usable for research. We describe (i) the methodological characteristics of the infrastructure, (ii) the geographical territory and environmental exposures covered by the infrastructure, and (iii) the initial description of the real-life health data of the included population.

Methods

The infrastructure is a relational database that integrates routine obstetric care data from CHUB with individual envi
