Summary
Likely mother-baby pairs, linked using a probabilistic algorithm, based on data recorded in the primary care medical record.
Documentation
CPRD has developed a probabilistic mother-baby link algorithm, based on data recorded in the primary care medical record. This links likely mother-baby pairs within the CPRD GOLD database, based on family number plus maternity information from the mother’s primary care record, and the month of birth of newly registered babies.
