Comments

In the Linked Birth and Infant Death Data file, the information from the death certificate is linked to information on the birth certificate for each infant under 1 year who died during the calendar year.

The number of deaths for infant mortality is based on a record weight from the linked birth and infant death file that adjusts for the approximately 2 to 3% of records each year that cannot be linked to their corresponding birth certificates.

Comments

Caution should be used when comparing these data with pregnancy-related mortality rates from other reports. NCHS uses the definition of maternal mortality and related coding conventions recommended in the ICD-10-CM by the World Health Organization. Other definitions may use different time intervals from pregnancy to death and may be more inclusive with regard to cause of death.

A description of the maternal mortality measurement has been published by NCHS. See http://www.cdc.gov/nchs for more information about linked birth and infant death data.

Comments

Race categories changed in 2001. Data for 2001 and later years may not be comparable with data from previous years.

This measure is referred to as measure 14-22 in Healthy People 2010 documentation.

The vaccines included in this measure are based on the corresponding Healthy People 2010 objective. These include at least 4 doses of DTaP vaccine; at least 3 doses of polio vaccine; at least 1 dose of MMR vaccine; at least 3 doses of Hib vaccine; and at least 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine. Between 1998 and 2005, the following vaccines were added to the list of recommended vaccines for children up to 35 months of age but were not added to this composite measure: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) added in 2001 and influenza vaccine added in 2004. Varicella vaccine and vaccines added after 1998 to the recommended schedule for children up to 35 months of age also are not included in this composite measure.

This objective is one of the measures used to track the Immunization Leading Health Indicator.

Numerator

Number of children ages 19-35 months receiving at least 4 doses of the combination of diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) antigens.

Comments

Statistical adjustments are made to minimize bias due to (1) lower coverage among children living in households without telephones, (2) discrepancies in reporting of vaccinations between households and immunization providers, and (3) differences in racial and ethnic population distribution in the sample compared with racial and ethnic population distribution at birth.

This baseline measure tracks the number of children ages 19-35 months receiving 4 or more doses of the DTaP vaccine, as well as children who received the combination of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis antigens (DTP).
