Birth weight and economic growth data sets, Utrecht Hospital, 1880-1940.
University of British Columbia Library. Data Services
Ward, W. Peter; Gagné, Monique Hélène — 2013-04-22 The variables contained in the data sets are primarily concerned with perinatal outcomes and maternal health. A number of variables with respect to the social and economic status of the mothers and their families were also included (ie. Occupation, Marital status, Region). While all nine data sets are centered around these common themes and hold many variables in common, each data set has a unique combination of variables. The types of fields are wide-ranging but are primarily concerned with infant birth, maternal health, and socioeconomic status.

Birth weight and economic growth data sets, The Rotunda (lying-in hospital), Dublin, 1869-1930.
University of British Columbia Library. Data Services
Ward, W. Peter; Gagné, Monique Hélène — 2013-04-22 Unreviewed Faculty Graduate Version 1.0 The variables contained in the data sets are primarily concerned with perinatal outcomes and maternal health. A number of variables with respect to the social and economic status of the mothers and their families were also included (ie. Occupation, Marital status, Region). While all nine data sets are centered around these common themes and hold many variables in common, each data set has a unique combination of variables. The types of fields are wide-ranging but are primarily concerned with infant birth, maternal health, and socioeconomic status. The Dublin patients are a random sample of those found in the clinical records of the hospital. Case files were compiled from two sources, the Register of Patients, which included the administrative record of each patient, and the Master’s Ward Book, which noted the medical circumstances of each case. These records exist in continuous series during the years with which this study is concerned, and only minor changes occurred in the categories of information collected. Most of these documents were held by the Rotunda Hospital when they were consulted for this project, but all of them have now been transferred to the Public Record Office of Ireland in Dublin. As birth weights were first recorded in July 1869, 100 cases were selected for that year. In all subsequent years 200 cases were chosen. The preliminary data base consisted of 12,454 cases. The weight and length means in the sample are accurate to 84 grams and 0.4 centimeter at a confidence level of 95 percent Arts, Faculty of History, Department of https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

A number of variables with respect to the social and economic status of the mothers and their families were also included (ie. Occupation, Marital status, Region). While all nine data sets are centered around these common themes and hold many variables in common, each data set has a unique combination of variables. The types of fields are wide-ranging but are primarily concerned with infant birth, maternal health, and socioeconomic status. The data analyzed in this study were taken from two sources, the Register of Birth and the Indoor Casebooks of the Edinburgh Royal Maternity Hospital. The bulk of the records are kept in the Medical Archives Centre, University of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh, although the Library of the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh holds the Indoor Casebook for 1844-71. In 1877 the hospital adopted a new form of taking case records, introducing discontinuity into the time series created for this study. The most significant change was a loss of some information about the social and economic backgrounds of the hospital patients. In years when fewer than 200 patients were admitted to hospital all cases were recorded. In other years a random sample of 200 patients were selected for analysis. Patient records were missing for 1852-53 and 1858-63. In all, 13,488 cases were chosen for preliminary analysis. The newborn weights and lengths in the sample are accurate to 91 grams and 0.6 centimeter at the 95 percent confidence level.

Birth weight and economic growth data sets, New England Hospital for Women and Children, Boston, 1872-1900.
University of British Columbia Library. Data Services
Ward, W. Peter; Gagné, Monique Hélène — 2013-04-22 Version 1.0 The variables contained in the data sets are primarily concerned with perinatal outcomes and maternal health. A number of variables with respect to the social and economic status of the mothers and their families were also included (ie. Occupation, Marital status, Region). While all nine data sets are centered around these common themes and hold many variables in common, each data set has a unique combination of variables. The types of fields are wide-ranging but are primarily concerned with infant birth, maternal health, and socioeconomic status. The clinical records of the Boston Lying-in inpatient and outpatient services, and those of the New England Hospital maternity unit, are housed in the Rare Book Room, Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine, Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts. While the information found in these records varied somewhat from one hospital to the next, each set of records was consistent throughout the period under review. Four data bases were established, one consisting exclusively of white patients for each of the three clinics and one composed of all black patients from both services of the Boston Lying-in. The four sample populations were constituted in the following ways. The clinical records of the New England Hospital’s maternity clinic exist in continuous series from 1872 to 1900. All births were recorded because there were fewer than 200 deliveries annually. The patient registers of the Boston Lying-in inpatient service span the years 1886-1900, with a gap in 1893 and 1894. A random sample of 200 cases was chosen for each year. The same procedure was followed at the outpatient clinic, whose case files extend from 1884 to 1900, excepting those years in which all were recorded because fewer births occurred, and a short period when all cases were noted even though they totaled more than 200. Because the number of black patients was small, and because the birth weight experience of blacks was distinctive in some important respects, a fourth file was created consisting of all blacks in the Lying-in inpatient and outpatient records. The preliminary data bases consisted of 3480, 2503, 3654, and 373 cases, respectively. The birth weight means in the Lying-in inpatient sample are accurate to 79 grams, and those of the outpatient clinic sample to 65 grams, at the 95 percent confidence level.

Birth weight and economic growth data sets, Allgemeines Krankenhaus, Vienna, 1865-1930.

Ward, W. Peter; Gagné, Monique Hélène — 2013-04-22 Version 1.0 The variables contained in the data sets are primarily concerned with perinatal outcomes and maternal health. A number of variables with respect to the social and economic status of the mothers and their families were also included (ie. Occupation, Marital status, Region). While all nine data sets are centered around these common themes and hold many variables in common, each data set has a unique combination of variables. The types of fields are wide-ranging but are primarily concerned with infant birth, maternal health, and socioeconomic status. The Geburtsprotokolle of the Allgemeines Krankenhaus are preserved in the Wiener Stadt- und Landesarchiv in Vienna. The primary data base for 1872 to 1930 consists of an annual sample of 200 cases chosen randomly from the records of Clinic I. (The single exception was 1882, when weights were missing for a three-month period and, in order to preserve the same seasonal distribution found elsewhere in the data base, only 150 cases were selected.) The patient records of Clinic I exist in continuous series with no significant changes in content throughout this period. The birth weight and length means in the sample are accurate to 76 grams and 0.4 centimeter at the 95 percent confidence level. In order to extend the span of time investigated, the records of Clinic I were supplemented by those of Clinic III, the first obstetric unit in the hospital in which birth dimensions were recorded routinely. It functioned only for the academic year (October to June) and it also accommodated far fewer patients annually than did Clinic I. The smaller number of patients attending Clinic III and the gaps in its records necessitated a different sampling procedure. For clinic years 1865-66 to 1868-69 the first two of every three cases in which live births occurred and for which a weight was listed were recorded. In 1869-70 cases were selected on the same basis as for Clinic I. For these reasons the Clinic III records have significant deficiencies not found in those of Clinic I and may be somewhat less reliable.

Birth weight and economic growth data sets, University Lying-in Hospital, Montréal, 1843-1905.
University of British Columbia Library. Data Services
Ward, W. Peter; Gagné, Monique Hélène — 2013-04-22 The variables contained in the data sets are primarily concerned with perinatal outcomes and maternal health. A number of variables with respect to the social and economic status of the mothers and their families were also included (ie. Occupation, Marital status, Region). While all nine data sets are centered around these common themes and hold many variables in common, each data set has a unique combination of variables. The types of fields are wide-ranging but are primarily concerned with infant birth, maternal health, and socioeconomic status. The Montréal cases were transcribed from the Register of Patients of the University Lying-in Hospital, a large leather-bound ledger now kept in the McGill University Archives, Montréal, Quebec. Because the number of patients was small, all case records were coded. The series runs from 1843-1900. Unfortunately, the information for the period 1843 to 1850 is too limited to support systematic analysis. In 1901 the hospital adopted a new form of taking case records although the data gathered remained consistent with previous practice. Unfortunately, this information was not collected as thoroughly as had been the practice before the turn of the century. The series ends abruptly and inexplicably in 1905. The initial data base included 8216 cases. Arts, Faculty of History, Department of Unreviewed Faculty Graduate Version 1.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
