Professor Joan Morris is Professor of Medical Statistics at St. George’s, University of London, London, United Kingdom. Her research is focused on the epidemiology of congenital anomalies and the safety of medications in pregnancy. She is the primary investigator on the EUROlinkCAT study which involves supporting 22 registries in 14 countries in Europe to link their data on births with congenital anomalies to hospital episode statistics, national mortality data, prescription data bases, GP data, and education data. The aim is to obtain more information about the lives of children with congenital anomalies up to 10 years of age. Prof. Morris also works on the ConcePTION study which aims to improve safety of medications used in pregnancy.
The talk will cover different statistical methods that Prof. Morris has used in analysing data from the EUROlinkCAT study. The EUROlinkCAT study analysed linked data from 16 congenital anomaly registries in 14 European countries. For information on EUROlinkCAT do look at the website: EUROlinkCAT - Establishing a linked European Cohort of Children with Congenital Anomalies and in particular the infographics.
