DOCUMENTS CLEARINGHOUSE YEARBOOK NOV s 1994 J,G. STATE LIBRARY firVLEjQR This report, referred to as The Baby Book, contains computerized tables showing statewide counts and percentages for 1993 resident live births classified according to selected infant and maternal characteristics. This volume and corresponding county microfiche are prepared and distributed for the use of maternal and child health programs and other users of baseline birth data. There must be something in the water at the Cotton Building. This year’s cover features State Center babies (counter-clockwise from top): Selea Cayenne Bums, bom March 12, 1994; Danielle Georgae Prince, bom April 9, 1994; and Farrah Mojdeh Whitmire, bom June 20, 1994, as photographed by Bill Ellington.

Selea's mother is Beverly Bums; Danielle's mother is Georgette Prince, and Farrah's father is Tim Whitmire. And the State Center baby boom continues... Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources State Center for Health and Environmental Statistics Post Office Box 29538 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0538 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, AND NATURAL RESOURCES Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary STATE CENTER FOR HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL STATISTICS Delton Atkinson, M.S.P.H., M.P.H., Director September 1994 DEFINITIONS A ‘live birth ’ is the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or any definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached (Definition adopted by the World Health Organization in 1950.). A ‘not married’ mother is one who has never been legally married or who has been widowed or legally divorced from her husband in excess of 280 days. ‘Birth order’ is the sum of all previous deliveries (live births plus other reported terminations, i.e., spontaneous and induced at any time after conception) plus the present live birth. ‘Birth weight’ is expressed in grams. A low-weight birth is defined as a live bom infant weighing 2500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces) or less at birth, regardless of the period of gestation (Birth Weight Index recommended by the expert group on prematurity of the World Health Organization, 1950.). ‘Age of mother’ is reported age in completed years at last birthday. ‘Education of mother’ is the number of years of schooling completed by the mother at time of the birth. Beginning in 1990, the last seven tables of this report (Tables 16-22) provide crosstabulations of new birth certificate items by birth weight by race. These pertain to medical history of the mother, maternal smoking and weight gain, obstetric procedures, events of labor and delivery, method of delivery, and conditions of the newborn. These items were added to the North Carolina birth certificate in 1988. In Tables 16 and 19- 22, the row totals do not equal the total number of live births because some births involve multiple conditions within a variable. RESIDENCE ALLOCATION Births are allocated to the usual residence of the mother, regardless of the place of occurrence. RACE ALLOCATION Two broad categories, ‘white’ and ‘nonwhite,’ are used. In cases of mixed parentage, the newborn is considered to be the race of the mother. COMPLETENESS OF BIRTH REGISTRATION Counts and percentages in this report are based on live births filed with the local registrar prior to April and processed in the state office prior to May of the year following the birth. The number filed subsequently is considered negligible for statistical purposes.
