Kaiser Permanente Study of the Oldest Old, 1971-1979 and 1980-1988: [California] (ICPSR 4219)
Released/updated on: 2011-02-07
Geographic coverage: United States, California
Time period: 1971-01-01--1988-01-01
This data collection is an epidemiological study of chronic disease in the oldest old. It is based on information collected from Kaiser Permanente facilities in Northern California. Members of Kaiser Permanente Medical Care programs who were aged 65 or older at the time the data were being collected and who had taken a multiphasic health checkup examination within four to six years of the baseline date were included in the study. There are several components to the dataset. Part 1, Master Records, includes information from the morbidity review, in which over 35 chronic conditions or diagnoses were abstracted from the member charts, as well as detailed diagnostic criteria for the major conditions. A prevalence review was done, which included the four years prior to the baseline date for these same conditions. Recurrent disease is included for the following conditions: cancers, myocardial infarction, and various forms of strokes. A detailed account of outpatient health services use, and data from the multiphasic health checkup, which was administered to each participant during the nine yearly follow-ups, are also included in the Master Records file. Part 2, Hospitalization, contains records of causes and dates of hospitalizations and discharges and nursing home admissions. There is also a section on incomplete reviews and the reasons for them. Demographic information and some lifestyle information from the multiphasic health checkup (e.g., smoking, alcohol, and Body Mass Index) are also in this file.

Linked Birth/Infant Death Period Data, 1995: [United States, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Guam] (ICPSR 2285)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: United States, Guam, Virgin Islands of the United States, Global
This data collection consists of six data files, which can
be used to determine infant mortality rates in the United States in
1995. For the first time, data for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
and Guam were included. Another change in 1995 is a change in format
of the linked files. They are now released in two different formats,
period data and birth cohort data. This collection represents the
period data. Parts 1 and 2 are the Denominator files for the United
States and for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam,
respectively. These files consist of all births in 1995. Variables in
these files include year of birth, state and county of birth,
characteristics of the infant (age, sex, race, birth weight,
gestation), characteristics of the mother (Hispanic origin, race, age,
education, marital status, state of birth), characteristics of the
father (Hispanic origin, race, age, education), pregnancy items
(prenatal care, live births), and medical data. A new variable in the
Denominator files for 1995 is clinical estimate of gestation. Parts 3
and 4 are the Numerator files. They provide records of all infant
deaths that occurred in 1995 linked to their corresponding birth
certificates, whether the birth occurred in 1995 or 1994. Variables
in these files include age at death, underlying cause of death,
autopsy, place of accident, infant death identification number, exact
age at death, day of birth and death, and month of birth and
death. New variables in the linked Numerator files for 1995 include a weight
and a clinical estimate of gestation. Parts 5 and 6 are the
"unlinked" files. They consist of infant death records that could
not be linked to their corresponding birth records.
