Mothers and babies, including low birthweight babies, and mothers smoking during pregnancy by SSD, 2008

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of all women who gave birth and smoked during pregnancy. The data spans every two years between 2012-2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) geographic areas from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The Child and Maternal Health Indicators have been calculated from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Mortality Database and Register of Births and National Perinatal Data Collection. This measure has been calculated with the numerator as the total number of mothers who smoked during pregnancy, and the denominator as the total number of mothers with a stated smoking status. For further information about this dataset, visit the data source:Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Child and Maternal Health Data Tables. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Data at the area level exclude births to Australian non-residents and women who could not be allocated because their usual residence was not stated or was not valid. A woman's smoking status during pregnancy is self-reported. Percentage for an area are suppressed for publication and marked as 'NP' if the number of mothers with a stated smoking status for the area is less than 100.

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of live births that were of low birthweight. The data spans every two years between 2012-2016 and is aggregated to 2015 Department of Health Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The Child and Maternal Health Indicators have been calculated from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Mortality Database and Register of Births and National Perinatal Data Collection. This measure has been calculated with the numerator as the total number of low birthweight liveborn singleton babies, and the denominator as the total number of live births. For further information about this dataset, visit the data source:Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Child and Maternal Health Data Tables. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data using the Department of Health - PHN Areas. This dataset uses the World Health Organisation (WHO) definition of a low birthweight baby as weighing less than 2,500 grams. Data at the area level exclude births to Australian non-residents and women who could not be allocated because their usual residence was not stated or was not valid. Multiple births and stillbirths have been excluded. Percentage for an area are suppressed for publication and marked as 'NP' if the total number of liveborn singleton babies for the area is less than 100.

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of women who gave birth and reported smoking tobacco in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, by the mother's usual residence. This has been calculated with the number of females who gave birth and reported smoking in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, divided by the total number of females who gave birth, and multiplied by 100. The data spans the years of 2014-2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) geographic areas from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The data is sourced from the National Perinatal Data Collection (NPDC), which is a national population-based cross-sectional collection of data on pregnancy and childbirth. The data are based on births reported to the perinatal data collection in each state and territory in Australia. Midwives and other birth attendants, using information obtained from mothers and from hospital or other records, complete notification forms for each birth. A standard de-identified extract is provided to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) on an annual basis to form the NPDC. For further information about this dataset, please visit: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - National Core Maternity Indicators Data Tables. Metadata Online Registry Entry. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data using the Department of Health - PHN Areas. A birth is defined as an event in which a baby comes out of the uterus after a pregnancy of at least 20 weeks gestation or weighing 400 grams or more. Smoking refers to the use of cigarettes or inhaled tobacco. Data excludes mothers whose smoking status was not stated. Smoking during pregnancy is self-reported smoking of tobacco. Because of differences in definitions and methods used for data collection, care must be taken when comparing across jursidictions. Data for Statistical Local Area Level 3 (SA3) of mother's usual residence reported using a 3 year aggregate, 2014-2016. The sum of the reported 'Grouped by' values may not equal the Australia total.

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of women who gave birth and reported smoking tobacco after the first 20 weeks of pregnancy and reported smoking at any time during pregnancy, by the mother's usual residence. This has been calculated with the number of females who gave birth and reported smoking after the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, divided by the total number of females who gave birth and reported smoking during pregnancy, and multiplied by 100.

This dataset presents the footprint of the number and per cent of low birthweight live births, by the mother's usual place of residence. The data spans the year of 2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The data is sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Perinatal Data Collection (NPDC). The NPDC began in 1991 and is a collaborative effort by the AIHW and state and territory health departments. Perinatal data are collected for each birth in each state and territory, usually by midwives and other birth attendants. The data are collated by the relevant state or territory health department and a standard de-identified extract is provided to the AIHW on an annual basis to form the NPDC. The NPDC covers both live births and stillbirths, where gestational age is at least 20 weeks or birth weight is at least 400 grams, except in Victoria and Western Australia, where births are included if gestational age is at least 20 weeks or, if gestation is unknown, birthweight is at least 400 grams. The Mothers and Babies data accompanies the Australia's Mothers and Babies 2016 - In Brief Report. For further information about this dataset, visit the data source: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Australia's Mothers and Babies 2016 Data Tables. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. SA3 is derived from Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) of the ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard Edition 2011. Numbers may not sum to totals due to rounding error. Excludes mothers not usually resident in Australia or whose SA2 of usual residence was 'Not stated'.
