Notes on Specific Birth Defects
Defect Site Comment
Limb deficiencies (reduction defects) Limb deficiences are currently counted multiple times if a case had multiple limb defects (e.g. if a case had both an upper and a lower limb deficiency, then the case was counted twice). Can be modified if needed to only include each case one time in this count.
Small intestinal atresia / stenosis ABDMP added small intestinal atresia/stenosis to it's reportable birth defects beginning with birth year 2019.
Universal comment At the time of this data submission, 2022 data is considered provisional.
Universal comment In this data submission, ABDMP adheres to the requested race/ Hispanic categories for both cases and all live births. These counts and rates may differ from in-state reports where ABDMP categorizes Whites as Hispanic or non-Hispanic, and other races (i.e., Black, Asian, and American Indian) retain the single race code regardless of Hispanic designation.
Universal comment Terminations are not included in ABDMP data reports.
Universal comment Registration of liveborn cases by ABDMP requires an Arizona live birth certificate identification number.
Universal comment Stillborns are included in this report if there is an Arizona fetal death certificate identification number, regardless of fetal weight or gestational age.
Universal comment ABDMP data include only confirmed cases with 'most likely,' 'compatible with,' 'probable,' or 'precise' diagnosis. 'Possible' diagnoses are not included.
