| Universal comment | As described in the survey, BDR data come from numerous types of reporting sources beyond vital records. Cases who do not readily match to SendSS-Newborn (-NB) or otherwise have a birth certificate number were triaged into three separate tiers: (A) delivery hospital is known and matches a facility in Georgia; (B) free-text other than a delivery hospital was reported (e.g., home planned, occurred out of hospital); (C) no delivery hospital was reported. Cases in tier C were determined to have insufficient evidence of Georgia residence at delivery and were excluded. Cases in tier A (Georgia delivery hospital reported) and select cases from tier B (free-text: home planned, other, occurred out of hospital) were manually reviewed to ascertain confirm residence and obtain (1) birth or fetal death certificate number and (2) demographic data. Few cases could not be located in vital records (VR), but had confirmation of Georgia residence through data found in Newborn Screening or Children 1st referrals. Data from VRs were prioritized; where absent, data found in SendSS-NB supplemented demographic data reported in the survey and data call tables. |
