Principal on-going projects

EPICE-SHIPS - cohort of very preterm infants evaluating evidence-based perinatal and follow-up care in Europe (principal investigator). Area-based cohort of births <32 weeks of gestation in 19 European regions with follow-up until 5 years of age. Financed by grants from the EU FP7 and Horizon 2020 programmes (www.epiceproject.eu).

RECAP Preterm- Research on European Children and Adults born Preterm - (Co-investigator and PI from Inserm) project to develop a platform of European very preterm and low birthweight cohorts to promote research and generate new knowledge on the consequence of very preterm birth. Financed by the EU Horizon 2020 Programme (recap-preterm.eu).

Euro-Peristat - Better Statistics for Better Health for Mothers and their Babies (principal investigator). An EU initiative to develop maternal and infant health indicators for monitoring health on the national and European levels; Funding from multiple EU initiatives (InfAct, PHIRI, IMI-ConcePTION) (www.europeristat.com)

QUALI-N Project - Development and Use of Quality Indicators around Birth Project to develop better health outcome measures using hospital discharge data in the French National System of Health Data (Système national des données de santé, SNDS) financed by the Agence technque de l'information sur l'hospitalisation (ATIH

Scientific summary

My research focuses on assessing the impact of the organization of care on the health and development of babies born very preterm (<32 weeks of gestational age) in France and other European countries and on the effects of the restructuring of obstetric and pediatric health services on access to care for pregnant women and newborns. I also lead a project to develop perinatal health surveillance for the evaluation of health systems and policy in Europe. My third research interest is the management and consequences of fetal growth restriction for preterm and term births.
