Extreme Prematurity and the Risk of Breast Cancer - A Cohort Study.

Abstract

All the necessary approvals from the different government agencies such as the Swedish Data Inspection Board, the Swedish Cancer Registry, the Swedish Death Registry and the Swedish Emigration Registry have been procured. Two abstractors have been employed and are presently working in the different archives. They are presently retrieving information from the ledgers and also tracing the women through the population ledgers. Until now, May 1, just over 100,000 female births have been assessed yielding the expected number of those born extreme premature and/or with a birth weight less than 2,000 grams. Thus, the retrieval process is within the framework of the time plan in our proposal and the tracing will be completed in April, 2000.
