Standard SwissNeoNet ID number

Deprecated item to specify incomplete MNDS form types (transfer, CPAP)

• 1 = SwissNeoNet informed consent or Hospital GC with UNENCRYPTED data transfer: date of birth can be collected
• 2 = Patient informed but IC not received: if there is no informed consent available but parents have been informed that data will be collected for research and they did not object, the hospital can send data with its own patient or case number as identifier.
• 3 = Anonymized data transfer (request for IC not possible due to early death): if parents neither signed the informed consent form nor were previously informed, or if they reject data collection (veto), data must be entered completely anonymized. Please make sure that this option is not used due to lack of administrative effort because such data cannot be corrected, changed or tested for duplicate entries at a later date because there is no means of identification and data cannot be used for research if it would have been possible to obtain consent!
• 4 = Hospital General Consent with ENCRYPTED data transfer. In such a case, patient data can be sent to SwissNeoNet encrypted using patient or case number.
• 5 = Child born prior to Human Research Act, i.e. < 2015 (prospective data collection stopped)
• 6 = Informed consent status unknown at follow-up (stalled option - status must be known at data entry) See Forms for more details on informed consent

day / month / year
(Year of birth) If parents do not sign informed consent, this item will not be collected. Record Year of birth and use patient number as identifier.

• Enter a unique patient identifier for your hospital.
• Mandatory, if parents informed but neither return informed consent nor veto data collection.

Swiss social security number. Needs to have the following structure: 123.1234.1234.12 (i.e. number of digits separated by periods).

admission of child (not mother) to hospital (not clinic / unit)

• If informed consent received: day / month / year
• Else: day of life (date of admission – date of birth + 1)
• (Electronic import: use day of life)

Hospital where infant is born, not place where parents live

See Asp Definitions'

inborn/outborn

• Answer "Inborn" if the infant was delivered at your center.
• Answer "Outborn" if the infant was delivered outside your center. Infants transferred between delivery room of one clinic to intensive care unit of a neighboring clinic do not count as outborn. When completing the Network data forms for outborn infants, use all information available from the hospital that transferred the infant to your center as well as from your own hospital.

Type of study the newborn was enrolled in (e.g. EPO repair)

Record the best estimate of gestational age at birth in weeks and days using the following hierarchy:

• Obstetrical measures based on last menstrual period, obstetrical parameters, and prenatal ultrasound as recorded in the maternal chart.
• Neonatologist’s estimate based on physical criteria, neurologic examination, combined physical and gestational age exam (Ballard or Dubowitz), or examination of the lens.

The best estimate should be recorded in weeks and days. In instances when the best estimate of gestational age is an exact number of weeks, enter the number of weeks in the space provided for weeks and enter “0” in the space provided for days. Do not leave the number of days blank.

See gestational age in weeks (P_GA_weeks)

first weight measured after birth (weight of tubes, metallic clamps etc. have to be subtracted)

female or male or non-determinable at birth

includes stillborns and lifeborns

A=delivered first, B=delivered second, ....

Individual hospital ID, see https://app.swissneonet.ch/hospital/

Currently not in use. Individual identifier of mother in Minimal Obstetrcial Dataset (MODS) for future research collaboration.

Birth weight z-score based on reference data provided by Voigt M, Fusch C, Olbertz D, Hartmann K, Rochow N, Renken C, et al.

Small for gestational age: Birth weight below the 10th percentile for gestational age based on reference data provided by Voigt M, Fusch C, Olbertz D, Hartmann K, Rochow N, Renken C, et al. Analyse des Neugeborenenkollektivs der Bundesrepublik Deutschland – 12.Mitteilung: Vorstellung engmaschiger Perzentilwerte (-kurven) für die Körpermasse Neugeborener. Geburtsh Frauenheilk. 2006; 66: 956–970.

Child died at any time after birth (including follow-up).

SES is calculated according to Largo et al. (1990, Dev. Med. Child Neur., 32:30-45) by means of a six-point score of both maternal education and paternal occupation. The lowest possible SES score for either the mother or the father is 1, the highest 6. The overall SES score is a simple addition of the 2 individual scores resulting in a value between 2 and 12.

In 2018, coding was standardized to synchronize areas of profession with years of education. Please use the following SES Scoring Table.

Mother's highest education (1 - 6) + Father's current occupation (1 - 6) = SES total score (2 - 12).

Classification according to education or duration of education (mother: acquired, father: current situation)

Note: For professionals who manage more than 10 workers in their own firm, as head of division, site manager or production manager, use the classification 'manager' which corresponds to category 2.

Extended help in German or French

• simple TGA means only D-TGA
• complex TGA means: Simple TGA plus, i.e. VSD closure, Aortic arch repair, etc.
• simple CoA repair means standard extended resection plus end-to-end anastomosis
• complex CoA repair means simple CoA repair plus, i.e. transverse aortic arch repair etc.
