Workstream 2

What are we going to do?

In the second part, we want to test how well current MOEWS pick up illness getting worse by using the new definitions from the first part of this project. We will use data that is routinely collected from 8 to 12 NHS maternity units to do this, and our national maternal review programme.

What data are we going to use?

For workstream 2, data from all women that have been pregnant during the study period at 8-12 selected NHS sites will be automatically included in this study, unless you have previously applied for the National Data Opt-Out. We will also use data from MBRRACE-UK, which investigates maternal deaths during pregnancy and birth and in the 12 months after childbirth, pregnancy loss or termination. If you don't want for your data to be used by our research team, you can opt-out by contacting the research and development team at the hospital where you received care. More information is available on our personal data usage page.
