Evidence-Based Neonatal Unit Practices and Determinants of Postnatal Corticosteroid-Use in Preterm Births below 30 Weeks GA in Europe. A Population-Based Cohort Study

We do not have IRB approval to share personal patient data outside of the European consortium. The EPICE project was approved by the French Advisory Committee on Use of Health Data in Medical Research (CCTIRS, N° 13.020 on 24/01/2013) and the French National Commission for Data Protection and Liberties (DR-2013-194, on 10/04/2013). Data will be made available upon request to all researchers who qualify for access to confidential data. The ethical and data protection approvals authorize the project to provide anonymized European data to members of each participating team after approval of each research study by the scientific committee and signature of data access and confidentiality agreements. The data sharing procedures are also regulated by the EPICE Consortium Agreement, which is the legal foundation for the EPICE scientific committee. For requests about the data, please contact Jennifer Zeitlin, Coordinator, EPICE study (Jennifer.zeitlin@inserm.fr).
