Description
Check both supplied record linkage scopes and withdrawal flags.
Pregnancy and birth research records distinguish observed and estimated values, dating anchors, day coordinates, time precision, clock offsets, and source permissions. A notation conversion or interval comparison does not determine a clinical date or validate consent. The supplied reference convention and uncertainty need to remain visible.
Check both supplied record linkage scopes and withdrawal flags.
When to use this tool
Use Maternity Data Mother Infant Link Scope when you need this supplied research age, date, interval, clock, provenance, or record-rule calculation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter motherPurposes, infantPurposes, requestedPurpose, motherAudience, infantAudience, requestedAudience, motherWithdrawn, infantWithdrawn. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read purposeAllowed, audienceAllowed, eligible. Inspect purposeAllowed, audienceAllowed, eligible before interpreting the associated values.
Require nonempty requestedPurpose and requestedAudience. Return purposeAllowed only if both motherPurposes and infantPurposes contain the purpose, audienceAllowed similarly for both audiences, and eligible when both match and neither withdrawal flag is true.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- All policy lists and withdrawal flags are supplied. Eligible is a local record-rule result, not verification of consent, data-sharing authority, confidentiality, legal permission, or a mother-infant identity link.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified dates and sources together with the intended research or clinical assessment process. Check dating anchors, clock conventions, uncertainty, and whether a supplied reporting rule is appropriate for the question.
