Description:
Born in Wales links electronic data of mothers, babies, and partners (including self-identified biological fathers or mothers’ partners) for children born in Wales, encompassing approximately 30,000 annual births. The linked health records include primary care data (from Wales Longitudinal General Practice (WLGP)), secondary care (from hospital admissions, emergency care, inpatient from Patient Episode Database for Wales (PEDW), and outpatient from Outpatient Database for Wales (OPDW)), maternal indicators (midwife data), public health records (vaccination uptake, hearing checks, health visitor assessment, breastfeeding initiation and duration, and COVID-19 vaccination/testing) as well as a core database for the National Community Child Health Database (NCCH). It also uses data from the ONS Annual Birth Extract (ADBE) for all births registered in Wales. Additionally, data from education, Census 2011, substance abuse, social care (looked after children, child protection register, children in receipt of care, and family court) have been successfully linked.
