Abstract:Health administrative data are oftentimes of limited use in epidemiological study on drug safety in pregnancy, due to lacking information on gestational age at birth (GAB). Although several studies have proposed algorithms to estimate GAB using claims database, failing to incorporate the unique distributional shape of GAB, can introduce bias in estimates and subsequent modeling. Hence, we develop a Bayesian latent class model to predict GAB. The model employs a mixture of Gaussian distributions with linear cov… Show more
