Query Builder for Utah's Fetal Mortality Query Module - Fetal Mortality Rate

Overview

The fetal death data in this IBIS-Q query module are obtained from the Utah Fetal Death Certificate database. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Vital Records and Statistics maintains the database. Fetal death certificates are required to be filed with the State Registrar of Vital Statistics for all stillbirths that are 20 weeks gestation or greater.

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 all single years.

  • How to Specify Year Groups

    Enter the year groups by which you would like the data gathered. Use a hyphen to indicate a range of ages (e.g., '1989-1991' will include years 1989, 1990, and 1991.)





  • First choose a coding scheme to use for age groups. Default is age adjustment age groups, all ages.

  • 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. Select 0 if looking for information about the first child born to a woman.

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

  • Birth Weight

    Normal Birth Weight: Live-born infants whose birth weight was equal to or greater than 2500 grams (about 5.5 lbs.)

    Low Birth Weight: Live-born infants whose birth weight was less than 2500 grams (about 5.5 lbs.)

    Very Low Birth Weight: Live-born infants whose birth weight was less than 1500 grams (about 3.3 lbs.)

    Extremely Low Birth Weight: Live-born infants whose birth weight was less than 1000 grams (about 2.2 lbs.)

  • Gestational Age

    Gestational Age is the period of time a baby is carried in the uterus or the duration of the pregnancy, measured from the first day of the last menstrual period. Full-term gestation is between 37 and 42 weeks.

  • 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.

  • Definitions

    This option allows you to query birth data based on the residency status of the mother and whether or not the birth took place in Utah

    Term Definitions: * All Resident Births: all births to mothers who are Utah residents * All Utah Births: all births that occured in Utah regardless of the mother's residency status * All Resident Births in Utah: all births that occured in Utah to Utah mothers
    Select the type of residence you would like to include in your analysis. Click on the term to see a more detailed explanation. The default is resident births.


  • Select the geographic areas you would like to include in your analysis..

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.
