Secondary Indicator: INFANTS BORN WITH ABNORMAL CONDITIONS
Definition
Number and rate of infants born with abnormal conditions that are identified at birth and recorded on the birth certificate and the type of abnormalities with which they are born.
Number and Rate Per 1,000 Live Births of Infants Born with Selected Abnormal Conditions, by Race/Ethnicity, 2008 to 2017
Important note to readers: Beginning in 2006, the Medical Worksheet information associated with the birth certificate was modified to capture fewer abnormal conditions within each category. To be consistent with the new classification, data prior to 2006 has been reanalyzed, and will significantly differ from the data presented in previous editions in terms of the total number of abnormal conditions in each category.
* Rates based on less than five births are unstable, and, therefore, should be interpreted with caution. Source: Orange County Health Care Agency
