A Free sample background from www.pptbackgrounds.fsnet.co.uk Slide 7 Problem Hospitals don’t always file certificates following the death of an extremely LBW infant Hospitals don’t always file certificates following the death of an extremely LBW infant –Don’t understand definitions –Not necessary for non-viable infants –Unlikely that a copies of certificates will be requested –Funeral home often not involved –“Looks bad”

A Free sample background from www.pptbackgrounds.fsnet.co.uk Slide 9 Death record, no birth record Solution--linkage of each infant death certificate to a birth certificate Solution--linkage of each infant death certificate to a birth certificate –Requirement of VSCP contract –NCHS is diligent about making states do this X

13 © 2001 By Default! A Free sample background from www.pptbackgrounds.fsnet.co.uk Slide 13 Sources of data 1. NAPHSIS surveys

14 © 2001 By Default! A Free sample background from www.pptbackgrounds.fsnet.co.uk Slide 14 NAPHSIS surveys “Does your jurisdiction follow-up on births under a specific birth weight to determine if the child died?” “Does your jurisdiction follow-up on births under a specific birth weight to determine if the child died?” Yes N = 25 ??? N = 11 No N = 15

30 © 2001 By Default! A Free sample background from www.pptbackgrounds.fsnet.co.uk Slide 30 What should we be doing? Identify all infants with birth weights <750 gms. Identify all infants with birth weights <750 gms. –Determine whether death certificate was filed If no death certificate filed, follow up If no death certificate filed, follow up –Call hospital of delivery to determine status If infant died, make sure death certificate is filedIf infant died, make sure death certificate is filed If infant transferred, follow upIf infant transferred, follow up Continue to follow up until infant is dischargedContinue to follow up until infant is discharged Review out of state data for potential problems Review out of state data for potential problems
