Our teams: EPOPé
I am a project manager working on preterm birth and the development of indicators that can be used for monitoring and evaluating perinatal health in Europe:
- the RECAP Preterm platform, which harmonizes and exploits data from 23 European cohort studies of very premature children and adults.
- the LIFT-UP Preterm project, which aims to extend and deploy the RECAP Preterm platform as a basis for innovation in clinical trials.
- the Euro-Peristat project, which aims to develop a population-based information system on the health of mothers and newborns based on the routine health data systems of 31 European countries.
Research interests
- Perinatal health indicators in France and in Europe
- Preterm birth
- Trends in caesarean section rates in Europe
