Fertili - Daily probability of conception among healthy subjects
Colombo Bernardo (1996)
Data come from a multicentre study which has produced a database of more than 7000 menstrual cycles contributed by 881 women. It provides improved knowledge on length and location of the “fertile window” and the pattern and level of daily conception probability. The day of ovulation was identified in each cycle from records of basal body temperature and mucus symptoms. The investigation was planned as a prospective cohort study conducted to determine the daily probability of conception among healthy subjects. From 1992 through 1996, 782 women were recruited with the collaboration of seven European centres. Data from an additional 99 subjects were also included retrospectively. These data came from a prospective investigation carried out in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1979-85.
The collected data are divided into two sets of data: 1) woman includes information for each woman 2) cycle includes information for each cycle
In order to make the distribution of the databases easier, while at the same time ensuring that the cognitive purposes from which they arise are respected, the Department of Statistical Sciences, the owner of these databases, requests potential interested parties to prepare a research project containing a brief description of the research and the reasons why the data are considered to meet the scientific purpose for which they are requested.
A brief note has been prepared outlining the procedure for requesting the use of one (or more) databases, a facsimile of the Application Form to be used to initiate the procedure.
