Linkage of Pediatric Cancer Data to Births and Tax Data

New Pediatric Cancer Data linked to Births and Tax Data, is now available in Research Data Centres across Canada.

 This linkage links births in Canada from 1992 to 2021 (using the births_m from 1992 to 2017 and mcentric from 2010 to 2020 files built from Canadian Vital Statistics – Births from 1992 to 2021) to family tax data based on the birth mother (the T1 Family File from 1992 to 2021), hospital data for both children and mothers (the Discharge Abstract Database from 1994 to 2022), pediatric cancer data (the Canadian Cancer Registry from 1992 to 2021), and pediatric deaths data (Canadian Vital Statistics – Deaths from 1992 to 2021). Analyses using this linked dataset must use the Canadian Cancer Registry.
