Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Perinatal mortality
stillbirth (i.e. intrauterine death from 24+0 weeks gestation) or early neonatal mortality (i.e. death within the first 7 days postnatally)
from 24+0 weeks gestation (for stillbirth); up to 7 days postnatally (for early neonatal mortality)
Preterm birth
live birth with gestational age \>= 24+0 weeks and \<37+0 weeks
gestational age >= 24+0 weeks and <37+0 weeks
Small for gestational age
live birth at gestational age \>= 24+0 weeks with birth weight below 10th centile
gestational age >= 24+0 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Stillbirth
gestational age >= 24+0 weeks
Early neonatal mortality
up to 7 days postnatally after live birth at gestational age >= 24+0 weeks
Very preterm birth
gestational age >= 24+0 weeks and <32+0 weeks
Low birth weight
gestational age >= 24+0 weeks
Very low birth weight
gestational age >= 24+0 weeks
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Full cohort
All singleton births in the Netherlands. Stillbirths are excluded from the denominator for all outcomes other than perinatal mortality, stillbirth and congenital anomalies.
Interventions
The intervention under study is the ban on smoking in workplaces, and in bars and restaurants implemented in the Netherlands on January 1st, 2004 and July 1st, 2008, respectively.
Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:
- Singleton birth occurring in the Netherlands between January 1st, 2000 and December 31st, 2011
- Liveborn (for all outcomes other than stillbirth and congenital anomalies)
