The application of a statistical matching procedure was tested in a pilot study, linking data from the National Obstetrics Registration (hospital-based) with data from the pilot National Neonatology Registration. Linkage appeared feasible, maintaining anonymity of the registered mother-infant pairs. The perinatal database thus formed was suitable for perinatal epidemiological research. Consequently a continuous perinatal database may be formed from the operational home and hospital based National Obstetrics Registration and the National Neonatology Registration which has started on June 1, 1991, allowing ongoing surveillance of perinatal care in the Netherlands.
