Query Builder for Birth Query Module for Utah Small Areas by Mother's Race and Medicaid Status - Average Gestational Age of Infants

Overview

The birth data in this IBIS-Q query module come from the Utah Birth Certificate database. The database is maintained by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Vital Records and Statistics.

"Utah Small Areas" refers to a set of geographic areas in Utah with population sizes ranging from approximately 16,000 to 80,000 persons. These geographic areas are especially useful for doing public health assessment in communities within Utah's urban counties. Utah Small Area population numbers are not available for race, ethnicity, or single year of age.

Getting Started

Follow the steps to narrow your query and display your results. When you are done forming your query, click "Submit" at the bottom of the screen (last step) to get your query result.

  • Select the years you would like to include in your analysis. The default is the most recent year.

    • Select from list of single years

  • Select the races and medicaid status you would like to include in your analysis.

    • Race Ethnicity in Combination

      Race and ethnicity collection can be very complex. Depending on the purpose of the data, IBIS-PH users can use different levels of granularity. If the purpose is to provide a more accurate picture of the OVERALL minority population in Utah, we advise using the combined race/ethnicity selection.

  • Select from list of mother's age groups

  • Select other characteristics of the mother that you would like to include in your analysis. The default is all characteristics.

    • Education level coding has been changed from year 2009. DO NOT combine 2009 and after data with previous years data on this selection

    • Adequacy of weight gain during pregnancy coding has been changed from year 2010. DO NOT combine 2010 and after data with previous years data on this selection

  • Parity

    Parity is the number of previous live-born children a woman has delivered, living or deceased. Select 0 if looking for information about the first child born to a woman.

  • Select the infant characteristics you would like to include in the analysis. The default is all characteristics.

  • Size for Gestational Age

    Small for gestational age (SGA) is a term used to describe a baby who is smaller than the usual amount for the number of weeks of pregnancy. SGA babies usually have birthweights below the 10th percentile for babies of the same gestational age. This means that they are smaller than 90 percent of all other babies of the same gestational age.

    Large for gestational age (LGA) is a term used to describe a baby who is larger than the usual amount for the number of weeks of pregnancy. LGA babies usually have birthweights above the 90th percentile for babies of the same gestational age. This means that they weigh more than 90 percent of all other babies of the same gestational age.

  • Select the health care system characteristics you want to include in your analysis. The default is all characteristics.

  • Number of Prenatal Care Visits

    ACOG recommends the following prenatal care visit schedule:

    1 visit per month (every 4 weeks) until week 28

    2 visits per month (every 2 to 3 weeks) from weeks 28 to 36

    1 visit per week from week 36 until birth

    Certain medical conditions in pregnancy may necessitate more visits.

    • Trimester coding has been changed from year 2009. DO NOT combine 2009 and after data with previous years data on this selection.

    • Kotelchuck method coding has been changed from year 2009. DO NOT combine 2009 and after data with previous years data on this selection. Currently 2009 data is still in progress.

  • Facility Where Infant Born

    A tertiary care facility is a hospital with a unit that has continuously available personnel and equipment to provide life support for as long as needed. Tertiary care facilities are able to provide care to newborn infants with birthweights less than 1000 grams or gestational ages less than 28 weeks.

    • Birth method coding has been changed from year 2009. DO NOT combine 2009 and after data with previous years data on this selection.

    • Birth attendant coding has been changed from year 2009. DO NOT combine 2009 and after data with previous years data on this selection.

  • Interpregnancy Interval

    The interpregnancy interval is the time (in months) between the completion of one pregnancy resulting in a live born infant and conception of the next pregnancy.

    • Select from list of intervals

  • Default is all Utah Small Areas

    • To get the HII map please select "ADI" on "Map" on last step "How to display the data" step.

To display a map, you must select Geographic Area in Display By (category) and None in Group By (series)

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The primary grouping is required and also controls the ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel and other graphing packages this is typically referred to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this value/dimension is associated with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series" field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this field is associated with data table's value columns. Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified.

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. All other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.

Optional map graph

Defines the optional map graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps are only available when the category is set to a geographical area and does not have a series defined.

Available Measures

Defines the primary measure value to display in the map and graph.
