Participation in pooled analyses
|
|
- The cohort is potentially interested in participating in pooled analyses of (European) occupational cohort studies (note pooled analyses also includes remote decentralized analyses that would not require any transfer of primary data as well as meta-analyses).
|
Main aim of cohort, please briefly describe the main objectives of the cohort
|
|
BiSC is a prospective cohort study of pregnant women, their offspring and partners in an urban population. The study is designed to identify early environmental and genetic causes of normal and abnormal growth, development and health from foetal life until young adulthood.

- Internal study population
|
Inclusion criteria
|
|
All women a) with singleton pregnancy b) aged between 18-45 years c) within weeks 11-15 of their gestation d) able to communicate in Spanish/Catalan e) resident in the city of Barcelona or Esplugues de Llobregat f) plan to give birth in one of the BISC recruiting hospitals
