Today’s Topics • Key items on both revised & unrevised birth certificates • Prenatal care • Cesarean delivery • Checkboxes items • Diabetes and hypertension
Methods • Total 2005 revised states (12) (1.3 m births) • Excludes mid-year revisers • Trends - states which revised in 2004 (5) or 2005 (3) • Excludes mid-year revisers
Prenatal Care Unrevised: Source ? = mom, records
Prenatal Care Revised: Source = prenatal records, mom ?
Percent of Records with Not Stated Day & Month of 1st prenatal visit: 12 Revised States, 2005 Source: NCHS/CDC/National Vital Statistics System

NCHS Calculation ofMonth Prenatal Care Began • Difference between Date of 1st PNCV & Date of last normal menses • If day of 1st PNCV = unk, impute day from last record w/ same month of 1st PNCV • SAS code to calculate now available from NCHS

Percent change in 1st Trimester Prenatal Care, Unrevised and Revised Reporting Areas: 2004-2005 Unrevised Revised Source: NCHS/CDC/National Vital Statistics System
Timing of Prenatal Care • Large discontinuity between unrevised and revised PNC data • Revised levels much less favorable • Some difference was expected • Changes in question & sources of data? • Studies show moms tend to over-report • Wide differences in unknown levels by reporting area
Cesarean Delivery • 3 commonly used measures: • Total cesarean delivery rate • Primary cesarean rate • Vaginal birth after previous cesarean (VBAC)
Cesarean Delivery Revised Unrevised • Total cesarean rate • Very comparable between revisions
Cesarean Delivery - Revised • Primary cesarean • VBAC/Repeat cesarean • Need info on both current and previous deliveries - • derived from 2 separate items: • “Method of delivery” • “Pregnancy risk factors” • “Mother had a previous cesarean” (from mom’s prenatal records)

Primary Cesarean Delivery and VBAC Rates by Revised Status: Reporting area, 2005 Primary VBAC Source: NCHS/CDC/National Vital Statistics System
Cesarean Delivery • NCHS no longer considers Primary Cesarean and VBAC data comparable across revisions • Revised data may be improved • Revised rates higher than unrevised (previously thought under-reported) • Better agreement w/other sources
Cesarean Delivery BUT, possible under-reporting • of # previous cesareans • Developing enhanced • instructions for reporting • if mom had a previous • cesarean using prenatal • and other medical records
Pregnancy Risk Factors • Diabetes • Unrevised = Total Diabetes only • Revised = Pre-pregnancy + gestational diabetes • Possible change in source of data • Gestational hypertension • No change except possibly to sources of data Source: NCHS/CDC/National Vital Statistics System

New Report • Begins to • demonstrate • the tremendous • analytic potential • of the revised data Source: NCHS/CDC/National Vital Statistics System
Summary • Prenatal care • Large discontinuities; higher levels of unknowns; revised data may still be more accurate • Primary, Repeat and VBAC • Not comparable; developing improved instructions for hospitals • Very encouraging signs of improved data quality for checkbox items • Need validation studies !!!
