STATISTICS!!! ‘Trusted and reliable statistics form one of the foundations of an effective democracy. Official statistics are also a building block for open and transparent government, effective public administration, and efficient operation of the economy and society. They provide everyone in the wider community with the statistical information, analysis and advice they need to improve decision making, inform debate and stimulate research.’ (ONS 2011)
SATOD The Scientific Committee on Tobacco and Health (SCOTH), which advises Government on smoking and health and tobacco control issues, said in its 1998 Report: ‘Smoking in pregnancy causes adverse outcomes, notably an increased risk of miscarriage, reduced birth weight and perinatal death’. The Smoking Kills White Paper (published December 1998) outlined a series of measures to tackle this issue, and contained a key target for reducing the proportion of women who smoke during pregnancy. This was ‘to reduce the percentage of women who smoke during pregnancy from 23% to 15% by the year 2010, with a fall to 18% by the year 2005’. In March 2011 the new coalition government announced a national aspiration of 11% SATOD by 2015.

SATOD and deprivation Tobacco smoking in pregnancy remains one of the few preventable factors associated with complications in pregnancy, low birthweight, preterm birth and has serious long-term health implications for women and babies. Smoking in pregnancy is decreasing in high-income countries and increasing in low- to middle-income countries and is strongly associated with poverty, low educational attainment, poor social support and psychological illness.

So far… • Checking the Blackpool data ironed out some inaccuracies • Research suggests that you could map SiP against IMD… ………lets try it…..

Scrutinising local data using the reward scheme 18 women, supported by the reward scheme, successfully quit during their pregnancy (all these women were CO validated). Of these 18 women who had quit, 53% had their smoking status incorrectly recorded in the birth register and in EuroKing. After double checking the data with the women, 35% were still recorded incorrectly.

Key points arising from investigation • Some midwives referred only to the booking notes for smoking status at time of delivery • Some staff have a relationship with tobacco, are unable to override this and consequently cannot work to guidelines and hospital policy
Blackpool staff member quote May 2010 “..Well, if you are disabled you get a ramp, if you’re a heroin addict you get methadone, if you are a smoker you get put outside in the rain.”
On further investigation…. • Explored problems in the initial recording of SATOD • Checked against indices of deprivation • Drilled down into the data to check against verified pregnant women we know have quit and found an error rate of 35% • Explored staff attitudes towards smoking

What does the data tell us? 5.44% of women reported as smoking at time of delivery were recorded as not smoking at time of booking. Information Department BFW Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
What does the data tell us? • In August it was recorded that no women quit smoking between booking and delivery -However 3 of the women who sustained their quit with the support of the Reward programme delivered their babies in August…….
Now we know • The data is incorrect • The data does not match against research • I don’t know where the data is wrong • The data is only as reliable as the person who inputs it • Only 2.32% pregnant women quit smoking after booking and before delivery • We are unable to use this data to support service investment/development • We don’t know what works.
