Abstract

Information on the safety of medication use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is scarce, yet use of medication among pregnant and breastfeeding women is widespread. The pREGnant, the Dutch Pregnancy Drug Register, was set up to obtain insight into medication use among pregnant and breastfeeding women and potential effects on maternal and fetal/infant health. The systematically documented, good quality data on medication use during pregnancy and lactation in pREGnant will be used in signal detection, epidemiologic studies and counseling of healthcare providers and patients. The register has a prospective cohort design. The population is derived from pregnant women throughout the Netherlands. Data collection started in April 2014 and enrollment of women is continuous and is characterized by a relative high proportion of women born in the Netherlands with a high education compared with the general Dutch pregnant population. Data on current pregnancy, obstetric history, maternal lifestyle, health and medication use, delivery, and infant health are collected through web-based questionnaires completed by the participating women (three times during pregnancy and three times during the infant's first year of life). If permission is given, the self-reported data can be complemented with information retrieved from Perined, the perinatal registry of the Netherlands, and from obstetric and medical records, and/or pharmacy records. Here, we provide detailed information on the design of the pREGnant, the Dutch Pregnancy Drug Register, as well as descriptive information on characteristics of the participants so far. Currently, steps are being taken to implement the register on a large scale in the Netherlands.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 January 2020.
All research outputs
#3,019,968
of 25,287,709 outputs
Outputs from Drug Safety
#328
of 1,805 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#58,565
of 347,603 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Drug Safety
#8
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,287,709 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,805 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 347,603 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
