1 patient P_SNNID pSnnid SNN-ID (leave empty if new dataset!) text / text_field 2000 3000 yes 10
 

Standard SwissNeoNet ID number


 
2 patient P_Informed_consent pInformedConsent Informed consent given ordinal / choice_radio 1 4 2015 3000 yes 15
 
  • 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!
  • 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

10 patient P_GA_weeks pGaWeeks Weeks of gestation integer 22 42 2000 3000 yes 60
 

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