Population health datasets are a valuable resource for studying maternal and obstetric health outcomes. However, their validity has not been thoroughly examined. We compared medical records from a random selection of New South Wales (NSW) women who gave birth in a NSW hospital in 2002 with coded hospital discharge records. We estimated the population prevalence of maternal medical conditions during pregnancy and found a tendency towards underreporting although specificities were high, indicating that false positives were uncommon.
人群健康数据集是研究孕产妇和产科健康结果的宝贵资源。然而,其有效性尚未得到充分检验。我们将2002年在新南威尔士州(NSW)一家医院分娩的随机抽取的新南威尔士州女性的病历与编码后的医院出院记录进行了比较。我们估计了孕期孕产妇疾病的人群患病率,发现尽管特异性较高,但存在报告不足的倾向,这表明假阳性情况并不常见。
