Characterization of Mothers in the Sentinel Distributed Database Mother-Infant Linkage Table

The FDA's Sentinel Distributed Database (SDD) contains claims data from various healthcare organizations, including mother-infant linked (MIL) tables, enabling studies of maternal, infant, and prenatal characteristics and drug use before, during, and after pregnancy. This poster summarizes a study which characterizes the demographics, health characteristics, and drug utilization of mothers with singleton live births (linked and unlinked to an infant record in the MIL table) and those with non-live birth outcomes identified through claims algorithms in the SDD. It was presented at the 2025 ISPE Annual Meeting.
