Description: <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>
The <i>Perinatal Mortality Survey</i> (PMS) aimed to examine the social and obstetric factors associated with early death or abnormality among the 17,000 children born in England, Scotland and Wales during one particular week in 1958. The study formed the basis for the later <i>National Child Development Study</i> (NCDS, held at the UK Data Archive under GN 33004). Some selected data from the PMS is also held as NCDS Sweep 0, under SN 5565.<br> <br> Users should note that the PMS is currently only available as ASCII .dat files, with accompanying codebook.<br> <br> Users should also note that although this data is based on the NCDS cohort, there is no linking variable between this data and the NCDS data. For details of the main NCDS see GN 33004.<br> <br>
