The Perinatal Trends dataset (1994\u20132014) formed the cohort of 78 382 births. Aboriginal mother\u2013infant pairs (37%) had disproportionately higher average annual rates (AR) for all adverse birth outcomes compared to their non-Aboriginal counterparts; rate ratios: preterm births 2.2 (AR 142.4 <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 64.7); stillbirths 2.3 (AR 10.8 <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 4.6); low birthweight 2.9 (AR 54 <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 19); and SGA 1.7 (AR 187 <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 111). Hospitalisation (2000\u20132015) and Immunisation Register datasets (1994\u20132015), showed that influenza hospitalisations (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 53) and rates were 42.3 times higher in Aboriginal infants (AR 254 <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 6); and that pertussis hospitalisations (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 37) were 7.1 times higher in Aboriginal infants (AR 142.5 <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 20.2) compared to non-Aboriginal infants. These baseline data are essential to assess the safety and effectiveness of influenza and pertussis vaccinations in pregnant women from the NT. Remote living Aboriginal women and infants stand to benefit the most from these vaccines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268819001171","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,4]],"date-time":"2019-07-04T11:10:30Z","timestamp":1562238630000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Baseline incidence of adverse birth outcomes and infant influenza and pertussis hospitalisations prior to the introduction of influenza and pertussis vaccination in pregnancy: a data linkage study of 78 382 mother\u2013infant pairs, Northern Territory, Australia, 1994\u20132015"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"147","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8580-9551","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L.","family":"McHugh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.M.","family":"Andrews","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Leckning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Snelling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.J.","family":"Binks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref48","unstructured":"National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance of Vaccine Preventable Diseases (2017) History of vaccination in Australia Available at http:\/\/www.ncirs.edu.au\/assets\/provider_resources\/history\/Influenza-history-December-2017.pdf."},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref47","unstructured":"SANT DataLink (2019) Available at https:\/\/www.santdatalink.org.au\/."},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vaccine.2006.08.022"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref4","first-page":"E329","article-title":"Pertussis immunisation in pregnancy: a summary of funded Australian state and territory programs","volume":"39","author":"Beard","year":"2015","journal-title":"Communicable Diseases Intelligence Short Report"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa0708630"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/mja11.11331"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref38","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0148421","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0148421","article-title":"Burden of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus infection in pregnant women and infants under 6 months in Mongolia: a prospective cohort study","volume":"11","author":"Chaw","year":"2016","journal-title":"PLoS ONE"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/21645515.2015.1127485"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268817002722"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref13","first-page":"E340","article-title":"Influenza vaccination coverage among pregnant Indigenous women in the Northern Territory of Australia","volume":"40","author":"Moberley","year":"2016","journal-title":"Communicable Diseases Intelligence"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref14","first-page":"11","article-title":"Uptake of influenza vaccination by pregnant women in the Northern Territory Darwin: The Northern Territory Disease Control Bulletin","volume":"22","author":"Parkes","year":"2015","journal-title":","},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref42","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"402","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciy517","article-title":"The safety of influenza and pertussis vaccination in pregnancy in a cohort of Australian mother-infant pairs, 2012\u20132015: the FluMum study","volume":"68","author":"McHugh","year":"2018","journal-title":"Clinical Infectious Diseases"},{"key":"S0950268819001171_ref12","unstructured":"Australian Government (2018) Influenza (laboratory confirmed) public dataset 2008\u20132016.
