The Victorian Perinatal Data Collection Unit (VPDCU) successfully collected data for 99.6% of births in 1995. This study identified a minimal number of missing perinatal forms, ensuring comprehensive maternal and infant health data.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Perinatal Health
  • Health Information Management

Background:

  • The Victorian Perinatal Data Collection Unit (VPDCU) is a vital statewide system for monitoring maternal and infant health.
  • Accurate data collection relies on the timely submission of Perinatal Morbidity Statistics Forms by hospitals.
  • Medical record departments play a crucial role in form submission and data accuracy verification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the completeness of perinatal form submission to the VPDCU for all births in 1995.
  • To identify any discrepancies between hospital birth records and VPDCU data.
  • To investigate reasons for missing perinatal morbidity forms.

Main Methods:

  • A statewide audit was conducted by requesting birth listings from hospitals with obstetric beds.

  • Data from 129 responding hospitals were cross-referenced with VPDCU records.
  • The total number of validated births was 62,759.

    • Main Results:

    • The VPDCU received a perinatal form for 99.6% of the 62,759 validated births.
    • A total of 251 forms were identified as missing.
    • The study initiated an investigation into the causes of these missing forms.

    Conclusions:

    • The VPDCU demonstrates a high level of data completeness for perinatal events.
    • Minor gaps in form submission were identified, prompting further investigation.
    • Maintaining high data integrity is essential for effective perinatal health surveillance.
