WHY WAS THE COHORT SET UP? This cohort was set up to investigate the use of evidence-based interventions for prenatal and postnatal care of infants born very preterm (VPT) and explore the associations between evidence-based care and their health and developmental outcomes.
WHO IS IN THE COHORT? The EPICE cohort is a geographically defined study of stillbirths and live births from 22+0 to 31+6 weeks of gestation in 19 European regions.
