  2. The Matched Multiple Birth File • Allows for research of characteristics of SETS of multiple gestation pregnancies • Includes ALL records reported in twin, triplet and quadruplet deliveries from 1995-2000 NCHS birth, fetal death and linked birth/infant death files

  3. The NEWMatched Multiple Birth File • 325,516 SETS of twins • 12,157 SETS triplets • 760 SETS of quadruplets OR > 699,000 individual records

  4. Definition: multiple delivery A multiple delivery or multiple gestation pregnancy may include any combination of live births and fetal deaths; all products of the pregnancy which are DELIVEREDat any point in the pregnancy are counted.

  5. Example: 1 fetal death (≥ 20 wks) + 2 live births = 1 triplet pregnancy or triplet SET

  6. Twin birth rate: U.S., 1980-2002 +65% 0

  7. Triplet/+ birth rate:U.S., 1980-2002

  8. Gestational age distributionby plurality: U.S., 2002 Twins

  9. Mean birthweightby plurality: U.S., 2002

  10. Infant mortality rates by plurality:U.S., combined years 1999-2001 6

  11. Percent low birthweight for all birthsand for singletons: U.S., 1980-2002 0

  12. Traditional U.S. Birth Files Infants in multiple deliveries Unmatched

  13. Matched Multiple Birth File Infants in multiple deliveries

  14. Matching algorithm Plurality State/County Mother’s DOB Date of Delivery Unmatched records Mother’s DOB Not Stated 93% Matched Add LMP Add LMP Allow 1 digit Difference in DOB or DOD 98.1% Matched

  15. Comparison with Missouri1995 matched multiple birth file 2,176 Missouri records reviewed NO FALSE Matches 6 unmatched in NCHS but matched in Missouri file

  16. Records matched by plurality 98.8 98.9

  17. Records matched by outcome 98.8 99.0 87.5

  18. Differences in matchedvs. unmatched records Matched Unmatched X gestation 35.4 32.4 (weeks) X birthweight 2,342 1,962 (grams) % infant deaths 3.0 10.4

  19. The NEW Matched Multiple Birth File Most data items on birth, fetal death and linked infant death records: Maternal age/Education Prenatal care Medical risk factors/Tobacco use Birthweight/Gestational age Cause of infant death Geographic detail Year of birth/death

  20. Uses of the Matched Multiple Birth File • Birthweight discordance • Set gender • SIDS • Growth restriction • Older moms • Set order • Parity
