Variables

Pharmaceutical dose form for administration to the patient.

Route of administration of the pharmaceutical product.

IF PRENATALLY DIAGNOSED, GESTATIONAL AGE AT DISCOVERY IN COMPLETED WEEKS GA as defined in variable gestlength. Gestational age at which the fetus was first suspected to be malformed (EXCLUDING soft markers). Indicate time of examination rather than time when result known. If no prenatal diagnosis please leave blank.

AGE OF THE MOTHER AT DELIVERY In completed years at the time of delivery. If only the year of birth is available, assume that the mother was born on 30 June.

ASSISTED CONCEPTION IVF = In vitro fertilization GIFT = Gamete intra fallopian transfer ICSI = Intracytoplasmic sperm injection

DATE OF BIRTH Please enter dates as a numeric string, not in date format (eg. do not use 28/02/89 or 28-02-89, instead use 280289).

MATERNAL BODY MASS INDEX Enter BMI (2 digits). The EDMP will also allow entry of maternal height (in centimetres) and weight (in kilograms) and calculate BMI automatically. Values measured at first antenatal visit are preferred, but pre-pregnancy self-reported values may be given. If mother known to be obese, enter code for obesity E660 in maternal illness before pregnancy (variable 60) Whilst BMI is a new variable in Guide 1.4 (for cases born from 2013 onwards) if any registry has this information for previous cases, EUROCAT is interested in collecting this information from 2005 onwards

CENTRE NUMBER

CIVIL REGISTRATION STATUS Livebirths and stillbirths are civilly registered leading to either a birth or stillbirth certificate and appear in official birth statistics for your region. Code here whether this case fulfilled the conditions for live or stillbirth registration in your country.

Name of the column whose metadata is recorded

Total content of a single unit such as particular type of pharmaceutical unit of presentation or dose form.

Unit of measure of the concentration total content.

CONDITION AT DISCOVERY Condition of fetus or baby when malformation was first suspected.

CONSANGUINITY Restrictive definition of consanguinity: where the parents of the malformed case have one or more ancestors in common no more remote than a great-grandparent (=second cousins)

Code of this DAP organization in the ConcePTION coding system

Name of the DAP organization

link to a source where the data dictionary of the original data source can be found

Name of the DAP datasource whose subset populates this instance of the CDM (if any)

date when this CDM instance is populated

Date when the drug that lead to the recording was dispensed or administrated to the patient; Mandatory: Yes, unless 'date_prescription' is filled in

Date when the drug that lead to the recording was prescribed; Mandatory: Yes if 'date_dispensing' is missing

Date when the DAP last received this column

DATE OF BIRTH OF MOTHER Give as much information as is known eg. Feb 1963 = 990263, 1963 = 999963. Please enter dates as a numeric string, not in date format (eg. do not use 28/02/89 or 28-02-89, instead use 280289). This variable can be used to calculate maternal age at Expected Date of Delivery for preterm deliveries and terminations.

DATE OF DEATH For livebirths only. Please enter dates as a numeric string, not in date format (eg. do not use 28/02/89 or 28-02-89, instead use 280289).

DRUGS - 7 DIGITS MAXIMUM Record any drug taken by the mother during the first trimester of pregnancy (from the 1st day of last menstrual period up to the 12th week of gestation). Drugs with long elimination half time and taken before conception should also be recorded (eg. Acitretin, etretinate etc). If it is not known in which trimester the drug was taken, and this information cannot be obtained, code it but write in the space for comments that it is not sure whether the drug was taken in the first trimester. Use ATC-coding and use as many digits as possible (from 3 to 7). Website http://www.whocc.no/atcddd/. Do not record usual vitamins and mineral supplementation, but record unusual intakes of vitamins or minerals (eg. Vitamin A mega doses). The ATC coding system does not have a code for alternative drugs or herbs. If these are used, give the main code Z. ATC example: N03A: antiepileptic drug N03AF01: carbamazepine Details on the dosage and timing should be given in text variable 55. Do not forget to mention in the appropriate section (disease during or before pregnancy) the indication for drug use. Only drugs taken at physiologic doses to be recorded. If a drug overdose or self-poisoning, this MUST be explained in text in Variable 55.
