Establishment of a birth-to-education cohort of 1 million Palestinian refugees using electronic medical records and electronic education records
This dataset is a linked open birth cohort of Palestinian refugees living in five settings (Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip). The cohort was established using electronic medical records of 972,743 live births and by linking mother and child health records from 140 primary clinics and education records from 702 schools. All records of pregnancies that ended between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2020 (whether they resulted in live birth, early foetal death, stillbirth, or miscarriage) were extracted from E-Health, as were the health and education records of children born in the same period in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza.
