Project on preterm and small for gestational age infants (POPS)
Description
Subset of data from the POPS study, a national, prospective study on preterm
children, including all liveborn infants <32 weeks gestional age and/or <1500
g from 1983 (n = 1338).
Format
pops is a data frame with 959 rows and 86 columns.
pops.pred is the 86 by 86 binary predictor matrix used for specifying
the multiple imputation model.
Details
The data set concerns of subset of 959 children that survived up to the age
of 19 years.
Hille et al (2005) divided the 959 survivors into three groups: Full
responders (examined at an outpatient clinic and completed the
questionnaires, n = 596), postal responders (only completed the mailed
questionnaires, n = 109), non-responders (did not respond to any of the
mailed requests or telephone calls, or could not be traced, n = 254).
Compared to the postal and non-responders, the full response group consists
of more girls, contains more Dutch children, has higher educational and
social economic levels and has fewer handicaps. The responders form a highly
selective subgroup in the total cohort.
Multiple imputation of this data set has been described in Hille et al (2007)
and Van Buuren (2012), chapter 8.
