“…Such research can be particularly powerful and efficient if done in collaboration with population based birth defect surveillance programs enhanced with clinical expertise and meaningful case classification. 36 Advances in the knowledge of the causal pathway leading to birth defects can be the basis for better primary prevention interventions, resulting in longer and better lives. For clinicians and parents, it is important to understand what can be done today to prevent birth defects, in particular the role of preconception care focusing on optimal women’s health (including screening/treating chronic illnesses, attaining folic acid sufficiency, etc).…”

“…We defined fetal anomaly based on the National Birth Defects Prevention Network's 47 major anomalies. 23 For this analysis, scans in which an isolated fetal soft marker was identified were not included as anomalous. We also evaluated whether an anomaly had previously been suspected at an outside clinic, and the gestational age at time of that referral.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to quantify the likelihood of assessing all mandated fetal views during the second-trimester anatomy ultrasound prior to the proposed federal 20-week abortion ban. Study Design Retrospective cohort study of a random sample of 1,983 patients undergoing anatomy ultrasound in 2017 at a tertiary referral center. The difference in proportion of incomplete anatomic surveys prior compared with after 20-week gestation was analyzed using X 2 and adjusted logistic regression; difference in mean days elapsed from anomaly diagnosis to termination tested using t-tests and survival analysis. Results Incomplete views were more likely with initial ultrasound before 20 weeks (adjusted relative risk: 1.70; 95% confidence interval: 1.50–1.94); 43.5% versus 26.1% were incomplete before and after 20 weeks, respectively. Fetal structural anomalies were identified in 6.4% (n = 127/1,983) scans, with 38.0% (n = 49) identified at follow-up after initial scan was incomplete. 22.8% (n = 29) with an anomaly terminated. Conclusions A complete assessment of fetal views during an anatomy ultrasound prior to 20-week gestation is often not technically feasible. Legislation limiting abortion to this gestational age would greatly impact patient's ability to make informed choices about their pregnancies. Key Points

“…Moore and McCabe [15] emphasized the serious strategic decision error would endure if the data quality were poor, leading to low data utilization efficiency. Although data cleansing follows data collection, data thoroughly checked for errors, and other inconsistencies are corrected for future use [16].…”

Pre-processing data on the dataset is often neglected, but it is an important step in the data mining process. Analyzing data that has not been carefully screened for such challenges can produce misleading results. Thus, the representation and quality of data are first and foremost before running an analysis. In this paper, the sources of data collection to remove errors are identified and presented. The data mining cleaning and its methods are discussed. Data preparation has become a ubiquitous function of production organizations – for record-keeping and strategical making in supporting various data analysis tasks critical to the organizational mission. Despite the importance of data collection, data quality remains a pervasive and thorny challenge in almost any production organization. The presence of incorrect or inconsistent data can significantly distort the results of analyses, often negating the potential benefits of strategical making driven approaches. This tool has removed and eliminated errors, duplications, and inconsistent records on the datasets.
