| Abstract | :
Linkage between routinely collected hospital birth and other records offers the potential for epidemiological and public health research by developing population-level birth cohorts with cradle-to-grave follow-up. Data from births in English National Health Service hospitals are collected in the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) database but are of uncertain quality. |
