Vicenza - Biometric research on cervical mucus: ideal and atipical cycles
Colombo Bernardo (1990)
Data come from the Family Counselling of Vicenza and Padova. Daily observations on cervical mucus were collected from women that contacted the Counselling. The study produced a database of more than 250 women and more of 2500 menstrual cycles. For each cycle, informations about quality and type of mucus were collected. Cycles were splitted into two groups: the first group was called "Ideal" and included cycles with well specified charachteristics; the second group was called "Atipical" and included cycles that missed at least one of those charachteristics. Data also allowed to analyse cervical mucus intervals by studying their length and the distance between consecutive cycles.
The collected data are in three files: 1) women: general information on the women recorded at their first entry into the study 2) cycle1: with information on each cycle for cycles of length up to 50 days 3) cycle2: as for cycle1 but for cycles of length above 50 days
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.
The file includes the three previous files ordered according to the code of the woman, the number of the series and the number of the cycle. Data in csv format.
