In the Agricultural Health Study, information on participant live births was largely provided by female partners of male private applicators. At the Iowa site, such information was available for 13,599 (42.9%) of 31,707 applicators. To improve identification of live births among Iowa participants, we used a probabilistic and deterministic approach to link available demographic data from 31,707 households and information on live births from 13,599 households with 1,014,916 Iowa birth certificates. Record linkage identified 16,611 (93.7%) of 17,719 reported live births and 17,883 additional live births, most (14,411 or 80.6%) not reported due to nonresponse by female partners. This record linkage produced an expanded cohort of live-born children among Iowa participants, which will facilitate improved study of the effects of agricultural exposures, including pesticides, on selected birth outcomes and childhood disease.
在农业健康研究中，关于参与者活产情况的信息主要由男性私人施药者的女性伴侣提供。在爱荷华州研究点，31707名施药者中有13599名（42.9%）提供了此类信息。为了更好地识别爱荷华州参与者中的活产情况，我们采用了概率法和确定性方法，将来自31707户家庭的可用人口数据与来自13599户家庭的活产信息，与1014916份爱荷华州出生证明进行关联。记录关联识别出了17719例报告活产中的16611例（93.7%）以及另外17883例活产，其中大多数（14411例，占80.6%）因女性伴侣未回应而未被报告。这种记录关联为爱荷华州参与者中活产儿童的队列提供了扩充，这将有助于更好地研究包括农药在内的农业暴露对特定出生结局和儿童疾病的影响。
