Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Abstract:
Clinical risk factors in pregnancy and labour can often appear universal: everyone knows that preeclampsia, advanced maternal age and gestational diabetes all put mothers and their babies “at higher risk”. But how much higher is the risk, exactly? And how have these risks changed over time, given that the demographics of women giving birth have changed, and so has clinical care?
At Oxford Labour Monitoring, we curate a database of ~225,000 comprehensive labour records across the John Radcliffe Hospital (Oxford), the Rosie Hospital (Cambridge), and St George’s Hospital (London), spanning 1993-2022. In this talk I will discuss how maternity data has changed over the past thirty years, how we think about data curation and integration, and what the implications are on the development of clinical risk-assessment tools.
