<strong>KCE</strong> Reports 94 <strong>Maternal</strong> <strong>Int<strong>en</strong>sive</strong> <strong>Care</strong> in Belgium 37<br />
Wh<strong>en</strong> the merge procedure 25 was carried out, 91.2% of all stays in 2003 and 92.4 % of<br />
all stays in 2004 were ev<strong>en</strong>tually merged with the IMA/AIM data.<br />
The stays that could not be merged are subjected to a separate analysis (see annex).<br />
Table 8 summarizes the results of the merging procedure.<br />

4.2.5 Study population<br />
After the merging procedure, all possible inconsist<strong>en</strong>cies were excluded or adequately<br />
corrected. Data of some neonates were left aside because of a missing baby ID<br />
number 26 in the IMA dataset (the linkage was done on the ID of the mothers).<br />
Ev<strong>en</strong>tually, 130.584 newborn stays have be<strong>en</strong> merged this way. Among the unmerged<br />
babies, 68% do not have the MKG/RCM number of the mother.<br />
Finally, the databases available for analysis contained:<br />
• 198.502 pati<strong>en</strong>ts with at least one maternity stay in 2003 or 2004, totalling<br />
243.947 merged stays;<br />
• 197.419 neonates born in 2003 or 2004, accounting for 240.711 hospital<br />
stays.<br />
In addition, 11.035 stays of ‘mother’ and 21.752 stays of ‘newborns’ remained unmerged<br />
because there was no IMA/AIM id<strong>en</strong>tification or the date of the in-pati<strong>en</strong>t stay did not<br />
correspond in the two databases. These stays are analyzed separately (see annex).<br />
