Box 2040, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands CHICOS project, general project coordinator: Martine Vrijheid Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) Parc de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona C. Doctor Aiguader Barcelona Spain Tel: (34-93) Fax: (34-93) Local DNBC project coordinator: Anne-Marie Nybo Andersen University of Copenhagen, Department of Public Health, Øster Farimagsgade 5, DK-1014 Copenhagen, Denmark Project description (max 200 words) The description should contain 1) purpose, 2) method, material, data, 3) time schedule, 4) publishing and 5) up to 5 key words Our aim is to examine in population-based prospective cohort studies among children followed up from fetal life or birth the associations of early growth until the age of 1 year with wheezing and asthma. We will perform a meta-analysis on the associations of age adjusted standard deviation scores of early growth characteristics (gestational age, birth weight, infant s height and weight) with the risks of wheezing, wheezing frequencies and asthma in childhood. based on raw data or odds ratios obtained by adjusted multiple logistic regression models from participating cohorts. July 2011 September 2011 October 2011 December 2011 February 2012 April Contact cohorts send protocol, discuss participation with each cohort Answers form cohorts, data transfer agreement, final list of participating cohorts Start collecting data, formatting dataset Preliminary data analyses and agreement on the analyses protocol Final analyses and interpretation of findings Writing papers + report for CHICOS We will write the following paper: Early growth and childhood asthma symptoms in different European birth cohorts. A CHICOS case study. Key words: Growth, wheezing, asthma, cohort study

3 Biological Specimens Are you applying for biological specimens? yes: Only a minimum quantity of blood necessary for the analyses in question will be handed out. Please te that DNA is t yet available from all participants. DNA must be extracted at Statens Serum Institut. from 1st sample quantity from 2nd sample quantity from 3rd sample quantity Please describe how your study design is adapted to make the best possible use of the biological specimens. Account for the feasibility of the analyses (requirements for transportation, treatment and storages must be taken into consideration). Number of persons, selection criteria, time period: For what kind of analyses? (state purpose and method): Where are the laboratory analyses carried out?: References from the laboratory may be enclosed. Supplementary Data Collection Sample analyses results Will you be collecting supplementary data/biological samples from cohort members, or will new analyses data be generated? In you application to the Danish Data Protection Agency (DDPA) remember to state that you will return supplementary data to the DNBC No Yes Supplementary data and results from biological analyses, including geme-wide scans must after approval from the DDPA - be returned to the DNBC database and be made available for other scientists. If you are contacting DNBC participants by mail, this contact must be initiated by the DNBC secretariat. Which kind of data/biological samples? interview/questionnaire (to be enclosed) linkage with other registries (please specify) biological specimens (please specify) How many individuals will be concerned? During which time period will collection take place?
