Research summary
We intend to utilise routinely collected data within our hospital computer systems in order to identify risk factors and variables affecting maternal and fetal outcomes following anaesthetic interventions. We will look at various combinations of data-sets within our databases throughout the study period in order to see if patterns are observed. Once these factors have been identified, we will perform a comparative analysis against a similar database used in Stanford University School of Medicine, California, USA. Ethical approval has already been obtained from the US site. There will be no patient identifiable data shared with the other study site in the USA.
We will primarily require data abstraction using Medway, ECLIPSE, OPERA, CDR, the obstetric anaesthesia database and the electronic medical patient record.
The study will involve women undergoing either vaginal or caesarean delivery and their babies (i.e. maternal & fetal outcomes).
All proposed research affiliated with this protocol will be retrospective in nature.REC name
