MoBa Generation Linkage EUCCONET International Workshop Bergen, 15th – 17th June 2011 Arild Sunde
Outline • The MoBa Data • Linkages we do • Generation linkage
Biological Material • Full blood EDTA • Plasma EDTA • RNA (child) • DNA • Urine (mother week 18)
Linkage key - SSN • Since 1964 every citizen of Norway has a unique Social Security number DDMMYY##### • Also available to temporary residents, work permit holders etc. • XML message sent from hospital after birth • Used for all records; bank, school, insurance, hospitals etc.
Norwegian Population Registry-DSF • SSN, and history • Mother’s and father’s SSN • Date of birth • Name, and history • Maiden name • Address, and history • Address code • Maritial status • Live status
Keep track of individuals • Mother’s SSN from hospital ultra sound lists • Father’s SSN from consent form • Child’s name from linkage to DSF and Medical Birth Registry-MFR • Mothers and fathers SSN • Expected date of birth -160, +30 days • Monthly updates from DSF • Store changes of all fields in our database
Linkages • Routine link for quality control and updates • DSF, MFR • Included in the consent • MFR located here • Local copy of DSF • Project specific linkages • Researchers order MoBa Data linked to their data or other registries • Requiresapplication to the Regional Ethical committee • Information letter must be sent to participants
Ways we link to other registries • We receive data with SSN. Link and add MoBa data. • We send our participant’s SSN with an ID and get back data for the participants and add MoBa data • We send our participant’s SSN with an ID to a registry. The registry identifies the candidates. The registry and we send data for the candidates with the same ID to the researcher • Each data source pseudonymised before linkage • A third party does the linkage. • Direct access to the data for linkage • Data sent to researchers is always deidentified or anonymized

Generation linkage • MoBa–Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort • 100000 participating pregnancies • 11+ questionnaires, avg. 16 pages • 20000 variables • Biological material (Blood, DNA,RNA,plasma,Urin) • MBR-Norwegian Medical Birth registry • Started 1967 • Information about mother’s health before and during pregnancy, smoking, use of folic acid, occupation, use of medication, diabetes, epilepsy, information on the birth, procedures and information on the child • Mother, father and child’s unique SSN
Aim • Affects of previous generation’s and siblings sicknesses • Affects of heredity and environment What is linked • All MoBa participants’ questionnaires and MBR record are linked to all siblings MBR record, and each of the parents MBR records.
Gives us health information about: • MoBa children • Both parents • Grandparents • Full and half siblings Consent and reservation • Linkage of participant to MBR is included in the MoBa consent form • Linkage to siblings and parents required application to the Regional Ethical committee • Written information had to be sent to all participants • Option for reservation against the linkage (total of 35) • Data anonymized after linkage
Deterministic linkage • Both MoBa and MBR contains SSN of the child, mother and father (if available) • The National Population Registry used for cross checks • Requires 100% match on SSN
Results • 108255 participating children with MBR birth record • 77683 mothers with MBR birth records • 68424 fathers with MBR birthrecords • 84682 non participating siblings from mother • 14718 non participating siblings from father • 12585 mothers with no MBR birth record • 21361fathers with no MBR birth record
Each person was given a role: • Child: Participating child • Mother: Mother of a participating child • Father:Father of a participating child • Sibling: Sibling of a participating child
