View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A new perinatal expansion for the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership common data model (OMOP-CDM) was developed to improve pregnancy research. This structured data model facilitates network studies on maternal and infant health outcomes.
Area Of Science
- Health Informatics
- Perinatal Epidemiology
- Data Standardization
Background
- The Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership common data model (OMOP-CDM) is widely used for large-scale health data analysis.
- Current OMOP-CDM lacks a standardized structure for representing pregnancy episodes, hindering perinatal network research.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop and implement a perinatal expansion for the OMOP-CDM.
- To facilitate standardized data capture and analysis for perinatal network studies.
Main Methods
- Collaborative development involving domain experts and stakeholders.
- Adherence to OMOP-CDM ontological framework principles for structure and vocabularies.
- Implementation and testing in SIDIAP and Norwegian databases with a quality control diagnostics package.
Main Results
- A perinatal expansion including pregnancy and infant tables with standardized vocabularies was created.
- Quality assessment confirmed accurate capture of perinatal characteristics in tested databases.
- Descriptive analysis provided key metrics on pregnancies, outcomes, gestational length, and birth weight.
Conclusions
- The developed perinatal expansion enhances OMOP-CDM for perinatal research, enabling interoperability and facilitating network studies.
- A publicly available diagnostics package aids in implementation testing and data quality assessment.
- This expansion is expected to advance research on pregnancy and related outcomes.

In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.

Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...
