Parent-reported birth information: birth weight, birth length and gestational age. Validation study in the SENDO project
2021, Gaceta SanitariaCitation Excerpt :This can be easily explained by the fact that it is easier to recall data on important or stressful events. Giving birth to a child is, without doubt, a significant moment in life, therefore data related to birth are more accurately recalled.25,26 Also, our results are similar to other cohorts based on highly educated participants,27,28 such as the US Nurses’ Health Study II, which showed a higher response rate, higher agreement and better validity than other studies in adult population based on participants with low income or low educational level studies.12,14
Civil unrest and birthweight: An exploratory analysis of the 2007/2008 Kenyan Crisis
2012, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Based on existing literature, maternally recalled birthweight is a reliable measure, but less precise than hospital records (Boeke et al., 2011; Gofin, Neumark, & Adler, 2000; Lumey, Stein, & Ravelli, 1994; Seidman, Slater, Ever-Hadani, & Gale, 1987). In addition, Gofin et al. (2000) concluded, “its use is justified when no records of birthweight are available,” (Gofin et al., 2000). STATA version 11.1 was used for data analysis (StataCorp, 2009).
Limited validity of parental recall on pregnancy, birth, and early childhood at child age 10 years
2010, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :The validity of data collected retrospectively needs to be examined before using them to estimate relationships with health or developmental outcomes. Regarding early-life factors, previous studies found good recall for maternal smoking during pregnancy [18–20], for gestational age [20–22], and for birth weight [19,20,23–26], but not for alcohol use during pregnancy [18,19]. However, most of these studies covered a limited period of time and did not consider a combination of variables.
Severe obstetric complications and birth characteristics in preterm or term delivery were accurately recalled by mothers
2006, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Another approach is to assess the accuracy of maternal recall of obstetric complications and birth characteristics in a more representative sample of the population. Among them, birth weight has been the most thoroughly examined for various periods of time since the index delivery [14–21]. Other studies further examined the accuracy of maternal recall of gestational age [22–24] and/or obstetric complications [25–31] in nondiseased populations.
