Abstract：
:Case-control studies are frequently performed in prenatal and perinatal epidemiology. For data collection, these studies often rely on self-administered questionnaires or personal interviews. Although of importance, validation of these measurement instruments received little attention in epidemiologic research so far. In this letter, we stress the need for more well-conducted validation studies in the field of prenatal and perinatal epidemiology. In addition, we comment on a validation study that was previously published in this journal.

评论,信件abstract：BACKGROUND:Corrected age is typically applied when assessing the development of children born <32 weeks of gestation. There is no consensus as to whether corrected age should be applied when assessing children born late/moderately preterm (LMPT; 32-36 weeks of gestation).
