Background In order to assess public health policies for the perinatal period, routinely produced indicators are needed for the whole population. In France, these indicators are used to compare the national public health policy with those of other European countries. French administrative and medical data (PMSI) are straightforward and reliable and may be a valuable source of information for research. This study aimed to measure the quality of PMSI data from three university health centers for core indicators in perinatal health.
