Table Name: childanalysis
The childanalysis table stores detailed analytical data related to a child, particularly focusing on maternal and delivery-related information.
Columns
| Column Name | Data Type | Constraints | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | int(11) | Primary Key, Auto Increment | A unique identifier for each child analysis record. |
| motherEducation | varchar(255) | Nullable | The educational background of the child's mother. |
| motherLanguage | varchar(255) | Nullable | The primary language spoken by the child's mother. |
| motherTTVaccineCourse | varchar(255) | Nullable | Information about the tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccine course received by the mother. |
| placeOfDelivery | varchar(255) | Nullable | The location where the child was delivered (e.g., hospital, home). |
| mappedId | int(11) | Nullable, Foreign Key | Links to the child table, identifying the child associated with the analysis. |
| motherId | int(11) | Nullable | Identifies the mother of the child (may link to a mother table in future expansions). |
Indexes
- Primary Key: id
- Ensures each record is uniquely identifiable.
- Foreign Key Index:
- child_mappedId: Optimizes lookups for mappedId and enforces the relationship with the child table.
- Additional Index:
- index3: Optimizes lookups for motherId (intended for maternal analysis and potential future integrations).
Foreign Key Relationships
- child table:
- mappedId: Links to child(mappedId) to associate the analysis record with a specific child.
Usage Notes
- Purpose:
- Captures metadata about a child’s background, with a focus on maternal factors and delivery circumstances.
- Facilitates advanced analysis, such as correlations between maternal education and vaccination rates or child health outcomes.
- Maternal and Delivery Data:
- The motherEducation and motherLanguage fields allow for sociocultural analyses.
- The placeOfDelivery field can be used to study trends in institutional versus home births.
- The motherTTVaccineCourse tracks maternal immunization, important for neonatal health studies.
- Integration Potential:
- Although motherId is included, it currently does not have a defined foreign key relationship. This may be used for future integration with a mother table or similar.
