Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Infants With Major Congenital Malformations [ Time Frame: For 12 months after birth ]
    Major congenital malformations were defined as any codes within the Q-chapter of The Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), excluding certain minor anomalies.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Infants With Stillbirths [ Time Frame: At the time of birth ]
    Stillbirth was defined as death at a gestational age of greater than or equal to (>=) 22 weeks, with the exception that in Sweden prior to 2008 it was defined as death at a gestational age of >=28 weeks.

  2. Number of Infants Born Small for Gestational Age (SGA) [ Time Frame: At the time of birth ]
    An infant was defined as SGA if birth weight was below the 10th percentile of its sex-specific national distribution at the respective gestational week. Data on birth weight and gestational age from the medical birth registries were used to calculate the 10th percentiles for each sex based on all Danish and Swedish births during the study observation period.

  3. Number of Infants Born Preterm [ Time Frame: At the time of birth ]
    Preterm birth was defined as birth before the gestational age of 37 weeks.

  4. Number of Infants Born To Mothers Diagnosed With Premature Rupture of Membranes [ Time Frame: At the time of birth ]
  5. Number of Infants Diagnosed With Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) [ Time Frame: For 12 months after birth ]
    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) was defined as a sudden unexplained death of an infant less than one year of age.
