The Public Use Natality File – 2015 Update

Introduction

United States birth data available in this file represent all births registered in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and New York City. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) receives these data as electronic files, prepared from individual records processed by each registration area, through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program.

Birth data for the U.S. are limited to births occurring within the United States to U.S. residents and nonresidents. Births to nonresidents of the United States are excluded from all tabulations by place of residence. Births occurring to U.S. citizens outside of the United States are not included in this file. For more detailed information on the 2015 Natality file see the “Detailed Technical Notes – Natality: United States, 2014” in the User Guide to the 2014 Natality Public Use File (ftp://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/Health_Statistics/NCHS/Dataset_Documentation/DVS/natality/UserGuide2014.pdf).

Moderate/heavy meconium staining of the amniotic fluid State-specific Data Quality Issues for 2015

These state-specific data quality issues are of particular concern due to underreporting and/or inaccurate reporting for 2015. These data should be used with caution.

Hawaii: Tobacco use – All categories Louisiana: Abnormal conditions of the newborn – All checkbox items Michigan: Breastfeeding – Item wording is not consistent with the national standard item wording and data for this state are not considered comparable with those of other states. Use the reporting flag for this item to exclude Michigan data from the reporting area totals. New Mexico: Risk Factors – Previous preterm birth Characteristics of Labor & Delivery – Steroids for fetal lung maturation received by mother

http://wonder.cdc.gov/

Characteristics of Labor & Delivery – Antibiotics received by mother during labor Infections present and/or treated during this pregnancy – All checkbox items Obstetric procedures – Successful and Failed external cephalic version

Oklahoma: Characteristics of labor and delivery – Clinical chorioamnionitis Maternal morbidity – Perineal laceration Abnormal conditions of the newborn – Assisted ventilation for more than 6 hours Rhode Island: Mother’s education Prenatal care items – Month prenatal care began, Number of prenatal care visits Date of last normal menses Virginia: Prenatal care items – Month prenatal care began, Number prenatal care visits Maternal characteristics – Height, Pre-pregnancy weight, Weight at delivery Tobacco use – All categories Pregnancy risk factors – All checkbox items except Eclampsia, Previous cesarean delivery Infections – All checkbox items Obstetric procedures – Successful, Failed External cephalic version Characteristics of labor & delivery – All checkbox items Method of delivery – Fetal presentation, Trial of labor Maternal morbidities – All checkbox items Abnormal conditions – All checkbox items Virgin Islands: Tobacco use – All categories

Births to residents of a revised state occurring in an unrevised state - 2015

In the 2015 natality file, as in previous years, births to residents of a revised state occurring in an unrevised state are represented by “blanks” for the items which are not common or comparable across certificate revisions (total of 0.1 percent of births for the 2015 revised area). Blanks should be treated as “unknowns” for tabulation.

Invalid codes for 2014, 2015

As of data year 2014, the code “YY – Remainder of World” for mother’s country of birth are not valid for revised reporting areas. In 2014 and 2015, unrevised reporting areas (Connecticut, New Jersey and American Samoa) continue to report “YY – Remainder of World”.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with the 1997 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia reported multiple race data for 2015. This table excludes data for New Jersey, which reported multiple-race data in 2015 but only for selected facilities. This table also excludes data for Connecticut, which did not report multiple-race data in 2015. In this table all women, including Hispanic women, are classified only according to their race.

1 Includes all births to residents of the states that reported multiple-race for the entire year. Percentages are based on the number of births occurring in the states that reported multiple-race for the entire year to residents of the states. Births that occurred in states that did not report multiple race to residents of the multiple-race reporting states are not shown separately but are included in the total.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2015 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see "Technical Notes." Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 2003-2015; see "Technical Notes." In this table all women, including Hispanic women, are classified only according to their race; see "Technical Notes."

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2015 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see "Technical Notes." Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 2003-2014; see "Technical Notes." In this table, all women, including Hispanic women, are classified only according to their race; see "Technical Notes."

* Figure does not meet standards of reliability or precision; based on fewer than 20 births in numerator.

1 Beginning in 1997, birth rates are computed by relating births to women aged 45 years and over to women aged 45-49; see "Technical Notes."

2 For 1970-1991 includes births to races not shown separately. For 1992 and later years, unknown race of mother is imputed; see "Technical Notes."

3 Based on 100 percent of births in selected states and on a 50 percent sample of births in all other states; see reference __________.

4 Based on a 50 percent sample of births.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2014 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see "Technical Notes." Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 2003-2015; see "Technical Notes." Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. In this table, Hispanic women are classified only by place of origin; non-Hispanic women are classified by race; see "Technical Notes." This table will be updated to include rates for specified Hispanic origin groups when 2015 population data for these groups are available.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2015 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see "Technical Notes." Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 2003-2015; see "Technical Notes." Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. In this table, Hispanic women are classified only by place of origin; non-Hispanic women are classified by race; see "Technical Notes." This table will be updated to include rates for specified Hispanic origin groups when 2015 population data for these groups are available. This table will be updated to include rates for specified Hispanic origin groups when 2015 population data for these groups are available.


* Figure does not meet standards of reliability or precision; based on fewer than 20 births in the numerator or, for the Hispanic subgroups, a relative standard error for the rate of 23 percent or more for the ACS-based rates of 2010-2015 or fewer than 50 women for census years and 75,000 women for noncensus years in the denominator for the CPS-based rates for 1989-2009; see reference __________.



6 Includes Central and South American and other and unknown Hispanic.

5 Excludes data for Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma, which did not report Hispanic origin.


2 Beginning in 1997, birth rates computed by relating births to women aged 45 and over to women aged 45-49; see "Technical Notes."

1 Fertility rates computed by relating total births, regardless of age of mother, to women aged 15-44.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2015 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see "Technical Notes." Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 2003-2015; see "Technical Notes." Rates cannot be computed for unmarried non-Hispanic black women or for American Indian or Alaska Native women because the necessary populations are not available.

2 Beginning in 1997, birth rates computed by relating births to unmarried women aged 40 years and over to unmarried women aged 40-44 years; see "Technical Notes."

4 Data for states in which marital status was not reported have been inferred and included with data from the remaining states; see "Technical Notes."

6 Births to unmarried women are estimated for the United States from data for registration areas in which marital status of mother was reported; see reference __________.


7 Based on a 50 percent sample of births.



1 Rates computed by relating total births to unmarried mothers, regardless of age of mother, to unmarried women aged 15-44 years.

3 Includes races other than white, black, and Asian or Pacific Islander.

8 Rates based on data for 48 states and the District of Columbia, which reported Hispanic origin on the birth certificate. Rates for age group 35-39 are based on births to unmarried women aged 35-44.

NOTES: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on birth certificates. Race categories are consistent with 1977 Office of Management and Budget standards. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia reported multiple-race data for 2015 that were bridged to single-race categories for comparability with other states; see "Technical Notes." Multiple-race reporting areas vary for 2003-2015; see "Technical Notes." In this table, all men, including Hispanic men, are classified only according to their race; see "Technical Notes." Age of father was not stated for 12.1 percent of births in 2015. See reference __________ for information on the calculation of birth rates by age of father.

[Rates are births per 1,000 men in specified group. Populations based on counts enumerated as of April 1 for census years and estimated as of July 1 for all other years. Missing values for age of father not stated have been distributed]
