Data Collection Event
Perinatal Assessment
Data were collected prospectively from patient records by the study team using standardised forms and submitted to the project centre at Odense University Hospital. The cohort data was cross-linked with the Danish Medical Birth Register resulting in the identification of a number of additional infants; data were collected retrospectively for these infants. Data were collected on pregnancy course, labour and delivery, whether active care was received, physical characteristics at birth, clinical indicators, respiratory support, neonatal morbidity, developmental care, neuroimaging, brain lesions, discharge, and mortality.
