目的：我们检查了母体报告获得的数据是否可以用于临床环境中的研究，而不是临床记录的提取。方法：将报告的孕前体重、分娩类型以及婴儿的出生日期、出生体重和身长与临床记录中相同的信息进行比较。结果：从198名女性获得的报告数据比获得的168份临床记录中的数据更完整。临床记录中的孕前体重与我们在怀孕早期测量的体重以及母亲报告的值高度相关(只有体重不足的女性才有显著差异，她们多报了2.4磅)。报告和记录的信息在出生日期和分娩方法上完全一致，在平均出生体重或出生长度方面没有显著差异。结论：母亲报告是临床记录数据的一种令人满意的替代，与记录一致，更完整，但更容易获得临床研究。
Objectives: We examined whether data obtained by maternal report could be used for research in clinical settings in place of abstraction of the clinical record. Method: Reported prepregnancy weight, delivery type, and infant's birth date, birth weight, and length were compared to the same information from the clinical record. Results: Reported data, obtained from 198 women, were more complete than data in the 168 clinical records obtained. Prepregnancy weight from the clinical record was highly correlated with weight measured by us in early pregnancy, and with the value reported by the mother (differing significantly only in underweight women, who overreported by 2.4 lbs). There was complete concordance on birth date and method of delivery, and no significant differences in mean birth weight or length, between the reported and recorded information. Conclusion: The mother's report is a satisfactory substitute for clinical record data, being consistent with the record, and more complete, yet easier to obtain for clinical studies.
