Table 7: Maternal illness and obstetric complication details

Due to the multiplicity of possible medical conditions and measurements of disease activity/severity, it was not considered feasible to provide specific recommendations around the collection of maternal medical conditions arising either during pregnancy or in the post-partum period.

CDE Item Definition Recommended data format and suggested values Essential to collect when studying pregnancy and infant outcomes Essential to collect when studying longer term childhood outcomes Source Purpose Notes

Report statistics
Value 4 (gestational age when condition was diagnosed in days) is considered an important detail for this data element as it will allow researchers to perform analysis of events occurring at aetiologically relevant time points in the pregnancy.

*The importance of maternal medical conditions arising during pregnancy as a co-variable risk factor for adverse pregnancy/infant outcome may vary by the outcome under analysis.

*Details regarding maternal mental health are valuable for studies investigating childhood health and neurodevelopmental outcomes, studies investigating these outcomes may benefit from adding separate variables to their data collection forms to ensure this important information is collected
Maternal post-partum complications Any maternal complication occurring post-delivery Value 1 - Options: a) Yes, b) No, c) Unknown

Value 2 (MedDRA/ICD diagnosis code): Text

Value 3 (Coding system) - Options: a) MedDRA, b) ICD10, c) Other (detail) - Text
No Yes Directly reported Sub-setting
