目的：通过对母亲的访谈验证婴儿出生体重。研究设计和背景：通过母亲访谈获得的婴儿出生体重与出生证明中记录的数据进行比较。研究对象为1992-1997年台湾参加糖尿病普查计划的1432名学童的母亲。通过对母亲进行电话访谈获得的婴儿出生体重数据与出生证明数据进行比较，评估8组产妇报告的准确性：= 5000 g。结果：确切的一致性低至15.9%，但如果产妇报告的体重比出生登记体重高一个类别被认为是一致性的指示性，则大幅增加到67.7%。出生体重低阶与高阶报告显著相关。但青少年母亲和/或低收入母亲的高报风险较低。结论：本研究资料提示台湾地区的出生体重相关研究应“四舍五入”至上分类而非下分类，以避免严重的出生体重误分类。(C) 2006爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Objectives: We validated infant birth weight by interview with mothers.Study Design and Setting: Infant birth weights obtained from maternal interview were compared with the data documented in birth certificates. Study subjects were mothers of 1,432 schoolchildren who participated in a diabetes mass screening program in 1992-1997, Taiwan. Data of infant birth weight obtained from telephone interview with mothers were compared with those from birth certificates to evaluate the accuracy of maternal report in eight categorized groups: = 5,000 g.Results: The exact agreement was as low as 15.9% but increased substantially to 67.7% if maternal reports of weight one category higher than birth registry weight were considered to be indicative of agreement. Lower orders of birth weight were significantly associated with reports of higher category. But teen mothers and/or low-income mothers were associated with lower risks of overreport.Conclusion: Our data suggested that birth weight-associated studies in Taiwan should "round number" to an upper category rather than a lower category to avoid serious misclassification in birth weight.
