Ill INTRODUCTION North Carolina Reported Pregnancies 1999 marks the eleventh volume of the pregnancy report for North Carolina. This publication includes reported induced abortions, live births, and fetal deaths. Fetal deaths are reportable only if they are of 20 or more weeks of gestation. Total reported pregnancies represent the sum of all live births, abortions, and fetal deaths. The first section ofthis report uses tables, graphs, maps, and narratives to examine statewide trends and patterns in pregnancies, live births, abortions, and fetal deaths. Subsequent sections examine selected characteristics of abortions, live births, and fetal deaths. Special emphasis is placed on abortions, since they are not reported in other publications of the State Center for Health Statistics. Finally, for the state, regions, and 100 counties, there are one-page tables summarizing resident abortions, live births, fetal deaths, and total pregnancies by race and age for both all and unmarried women. In order to reflect changes during the past decade, data year 1 989 is used as a base year throughout this report. Beginning in 1978, abortion providers voluntarily reported detailed characteristics on nearly all of their procedures. Corresponding data for earlier years were obtained fi-om a sample and may not be representative. Hospitals and clinics in North Carolina reported detailed information on the vast majority of all abortions performed in 1999. For those facilities not reporting 100 percent, the data has been expanded in a random manner to produce totals for each facility's number of abortions. These adjustments should not seriously bias the results. For live births and fetal deaths, reporting of the events is believed to be virtually 100 percent, although the Vr;iriables include a few unknowns or not stated values. For the maps included in this repoi t, a procedure from SAS was used to group counties that are "most like each other" with respect to the statistic being examined. This procedure may result in very large or very small groups, depending on how the counties differ. It is hoped that this report will serve many ofthe data needs ofthose individuals and agencies delivering and/or planning health services for the childbearing population of the state.

After increasing 3.8 percent fi-om 1997 to 1998, North Carolina's total pregnancy rate (pregnancies per 1 ,000 females ages 15-44) remained the same from 1998 to 1999. There was, however, an increase in the white pregnancy rate and a decrease in the minority pregnancy rate. Live births are the greatest contributor to total pregnancies, so it is not surprising that the state's fertility rate (live births per 1 ,000 females ages 1 5-44) has followed the same general course as the total pregnancy rate. There was a 1 .7 percent increase in the total fertility rate from 1998 to 1999. The state's abortion rate (abortions per 1 ,000 females ages 1 5-44) decreased from 1 998 to 1 999 after a slight increase from 1 997 to 1 998. The decrease occurred for both whites and minorities. The abortion fraction (abortions per 1,000 pregnancies) for whites continued to decline in 1999. After an increase from 1997 to 1998, the abortion fraction for minorities decreased by 3.1 percent. The final component oftotal reported pregnancies is the relatively small number of fetal deaths. The overall fetal death rate (fetal deaths per 1,000 deliveries) decreased by 6.3 percent from 1998 to 1999.

In almost all cases, the updated total and white rates are slightly lower and mmonty rates are slightly higher than rates previously published. 2-1 On pages 2-3 through 2-20, maps and tables show county-specific pregnancy, fertility, and abortion rates, as well as abortion fi-actions for 1999. Fetal death rates are not given due to the instability of the county rates for a single year. Users are referred to the five-year fetal death rates published in North Carolina Vital Statistics, Volume 1. 2-2 Pregnancy Rates Pregnancy Rates by County of Residence 115.7-125.1 93.9-106.3 72.2 -

The numberr by county of residence varied widely during 1999 with all 100 counties repre-sented. The numbei of abortions by county of residence ranged from 3 to 3,581.

However, 5 percent of abortion records in 1999 had marital status not reported. The average education level of residents receiving abortions during 1999 was 12.8 years. Ap-proximately 76 percent had at least 12 years of education, compared to 71 percent during 1989. Thirty-five percent of North Carc/iina women having abortions during 1999 reported at least one previous abortion. More than one-half of abortions in 1999 were reported to have occurred at 8 or fewer weeks of gestation. Suction curettage accounted for 56.2 percent of all resident abortion procedures reported in 1999, a significant decrease fi-om 64.5 percent in 1998. Since the addition of dilation and evacuation as a reportable procedure, the percent of suction curettage procedures has been steadily declining. Dilation and evacuation accounted for 42.3 percent of all resident abortion procedures in 1999. There were 1 13,755 live births reported to residents of North Carolina in 1999, an increase of 1 1 .4 percent over 1 989. The percentage of newborns at low birthweight (less than 2,500 grams) increased slightly to 8.9 from 1998 to 1999 while very low birthweight stayed at 1 .9. Births to mothers with no prenatal care accounted for less than one percent of all live births. 5-1 STATE TABLE r CO M o ro in U3 in r- H VD 03 in iH VD ro oO'3<vDoocDTj<r-cNinin Ha)VDmM)rHrHCr> CM in o >^ f*> en vo in o oj vD r~ 00 in m o> H m o m m o o o m iH r- (N \i> CN ri CO H PS HQ H CO H ei oH H >:) Om<u aH o ot o\ § u Pi < HOH U OO 0< XH tH f^ CO CTl iH f^ r~ o o o r^ iH in o r- CO o CO rn tn [^ t^ o *D fN H 'a' H iH CN m iH rr \c o cry H H CN (N 04 H CN m ^ Ho>ininmu>(NO> r* 00 oi <T» in oi (N rH CO m H m rH m r- cry in cN rH ^rHvomojooom r-^cri^cr>mincN incriVD<o(TiLnm-H OH ^ in CT> ^ O m tn o m (N H CN H in P-) o ^ H ^ O OJ [^ yj m H OJ m in [^ m \£) n [^ (N ro t-H ro i-i m (T> CO H vc in tr» oi in o ^ in tn CN <H in fN HM o OH HM o x3 O ooooooir^r-incooi rH oooooo(Nr-mrHin [^ U) VO 'J' CO H m (N H in 00 CN H CN (N H OOOOOCNC7^^ o 00 ^ CO H m H iH o ^ in in <N in *x> a^ CN fNj r^ CO 00 CN n oomcnr-incNoootN^D in r- o o ro <* r-r- i rr <X> Oi KD r-i U3 O t-~ ^ CN m CO CN in m vo to "a* VD CN rn CN CT^ H CN 00 O 1^ in tD iH in CO m i-t cncn^rHr-cn^in o o o ro UJ o iH fH r-tf en CN in o^ o to to o m m CO to in ^ cj\r-r>jojinoocNn 00 CN o> to rH o in tn in CN ^ to iH in to m iH rOE^inOOOO'J'CN inrirHCN'j't^fNco m o CN r- CN m r-tn rH iH m o iH m n CN tH ooncNrHoti^nttODOcntoDtO^^tHn CN r* to Cr\ rH to rH oa ^ in CN in ^ [^ CO ^ CO m en rH cT» m o to m m to 00 o^ m CN iH ^ to CN iH ao § §HH Pi O Qa u HH O O otDt-i^CT\oinm mcom^a^rHincNrH rH rH 00 to CO 00 (N CN ^ m H O O rH t^ rH r-i in o a> tn r- m cr\ CN to tn tn CO rH CN m vo r-rHotoocnr-^ to CN m to to rO CTl rH rH O O to rH <* rH CN -* CN H '3'tDinLnrHcomo coocn-^oinr-CN in CN cj\ r- rH m o G Q ^ 'T ^ rn rf rf to o m rn t~- rH m '^t r^ 00 cNinHOcnoototo CO H in rH CN r^ to m m cjt cr» in rH CN **• CN H rH cj>r-inr-ocNfnt^ rHvoinocnr^Hm CN r- CN r- in o to ^ oi u> m CN OrHmtocninot^ rH 'T in cr> r- o H (N in CO tn r^ in o (^ en to o o^ r- CN cT\ CO 00 CN m ^ to o O CN ^ r- ^ CN rH 8a rji a\ ^ <y\ Tf <y\ rf Mi a O < D f^J O) ro m ># Q oinoLnoinoin CT^o^^oJm^lr^<o^^cocT^ '^p CTi ^ (T> {N CN m m 3" Q oinoinoirtOLn Perinatal Care Regions REGION TABLES f g (0 CO CD Q_ HM O UD r~ ^ o) ^ ooooo-^noji^rnoo iH (N iH ^r U) TT iH ^ in »H § 04 HoH O E-o 'i* i/i CD 00 a» o> vo in o) t^ H in <-i ^ CM in r- rH rH CN CN <-t CM H VD rH O 'S' CTi CN m ^ O UJ VD m c^ <^ [^ r- rH rHf*iinf*ivominm H vo o) CN cr> in rH CM CM <r OOOrHCnCTlinCOOCDrH CDVDCX)<a<CMfNinrH H v£) ^0 o r^ m n r^ en in M H CMint^^iHrnvDi-C cN H a> tj< n ^ n <T\ rH ID m H >< HH o OdHrHrHOOO OOOOOOrHOOOCN OmrHrHiHOOO « <HUh or-r~inmc*ic>)0 OOCDl^VDmCNO OOOOOOOrHCNHm o o o o o o O^mi-tOCJOO 0(7>'5'fNrHCNOO HoH ou XH M o U3 en CN CO I o uj m m r- ^^ en u) ^ in \D rO (Tl rH cj^ o en n u) ooooo'^ujcnf^iin^i' i-t iH ro ^ ooOf-loo^)ocNOcn ^ o en "^ r-rH iH CN f^ H O ^ rH O en u) en CD en o r^ n tn in vc CM in VD CN rH o cu E- O n iH r- y3 O CN iH 'T \D rH rH eS CN iH oooHo^cNcnininm rH in iH o r- CN (-1 CN CN ^ r- en o CD m rH CD m CD <n CD CN CD r- f^ rH H 01 s oHOa 0! b: o Pi oHH ao Qu CJ D HH o O OCNr-OCD^OO <* CD r- CN ooooooinm^rcDCN 00 CD CO en 00 r-r- t en a CD 00 CD 00 m in '^ o CN ^ m CN r~r-rHcnoj ooooc^iinr- [^ in o CN ^ CTc <;j* en *5< en xa» ] t-\ iH (N O) m m 1 ' ' ' ' ' ' < U o in O in o 1/1 H O rH r-f OJ (N m m O < H o o o o morHfNn^LDVDr^cocn 00 iH (r> 'sP '^ rH in CO (N O i-t VD rH CO CTt ':}' fS (N 'J' in rH CO >J3 n U> rH CN ro (N rH , , 1 1 1 ID ^ cn -^ a\ ^ (N (N n m '^ U oinoinomoin rHtHCM04f*im'^^ oo p: o 3 so >< ^ H n O cn rH 00 <* CO o o H ro '=r ro VD CN ^ CO fO '^ CO in vo O cn o in H tn H lO r^ -<*< cn m fN CO m m cn r- U) a\ rH u> VJD fN ro S' vo ro ^ vo M ^ * [^ rH 04 in rH rH Ol ro in u> ro fN f^l "J" O) U o 00 rH (N CN rH m r-\ CN rH CO z iLl M O s Ol in m 00 rH fO cn in ro o o o <^ CO ro CO 00 o ro ^ ^ 00 r- cn 't 1-i 03 t-i rH vo H in o KD UJ in r- o H ^ 04 \D fN U3 Ol H -* VD Ol O ro CO tn m 55 u O m r- (N <T, r-i * H ro \o cn Ol r- ro CO ^ vo Ol O H a. .. « « « « * k - « « Ptl M tn n VD r~- ^ CN rH t- fN fN r-i a, << g CN H r- r- m ^ cn CO o Ol o o H 00 Ol y?

INTRODUCTION
North Carolina Reported Pregnancies 1999 marks the eleventh volume of the pregnancy report for
North Carolina. This publication includes reported induced abortions, live births, and fetal deaths. Fetal
deaths are reportable only if they are of 20 or more weeks of gestation. Total reported pregnancies
represent the sum of all live births, abortions, and fetal deaths.
The first section ofthis report uses tables, graphs, maps, and narratives to examine statewide trends
and patterns in pregnancies, live births, abortions, and fetal deaths. Subsequent sections examine
selected characteristics of abortions, live births, and fetal deaths. Special emphasis is placed on
abortions, since they are not reported in other publications of the State Center for Health Statistics.
Finally, for the state, regions, and 100 counties, there are one-page tables summarizing resident
abortions, live births, fetal deaths, and total pregnancies by race and age for both all and unmarried
women. In order to reflect changes during the past decade, data year 1 989 is used as a base year throughout
this report.
Beginning in 1978, abortion providers voluntarily reported detailed characteristics on nearly all of
their procedures. Corresponding data for earlier years were obtained fi-om a sample and may not be
representative.
Hospitals and clinics in North Carolina reported detailed information on the vast majority of all
abortions performed in 1999. For those facilities not reporting 100 percent, the data has been expanded
in a random manner to produce totals for each facility's number of abortions. These adjustments should
not seriously bias the results. For live births and fetal deaths, reporting of the events is believed to be
virtually 100 percent, although the Vr;iriables include a few unknowns or not stated values.
For the maps included in this repoi t, a procedure from SAS was used to group counties that are "most
like each other" with respect to the statistic being examined. This procedure may result in very large or
very small groups, depending on how the counties differ.
It is hoped that this report will serve many ofthe data needs ofthose individuals and agencies delivering
and/or planning health services for the childbearing population of the state. Your comments are always
welcomed. You may contact this office at (919) 733-4728, or address correspondence to:

TRENDS AND PATTERNS IN PREGNANCIES, LIVE BIRTHS,
ABORTIONS, AND FETAL DEATHS
Total and race-specific measures for each year 1 989- 1 999 are listed in the table below. After increasing
3.8 percent fi-om 1997 to 1998, North Carolina's total pregnancy rate (pregnancies per 1 ,000 females
ages 15-44) remained the same from 1998 to 1999. There was, however, an increase in the white
pregnancy rate and a decrease in the minority pregnancy rate. Live births are the greatest contributor to
total pregnancies, so it is not surprising that the state's fertility rate (live births per 1 ,000 females ages
1 5-44) has followed the same general course as the total pregnancy rate. There was a 1 .7 percent increase
in the total fertility rate from 1998 to 1999.
The state's abortion rate (abortions per 1 ,000 females ages 1 5-44) decreased from 1 998 to 1 999 after
a slight increase from 1 997 to 1 998. The decrease occurred for both whites and minorities. The abortion
fraction (abortions per 1,000 pregnancies) for whites continued to decline in 1999. After an increase
from 1997 to 1998, the abortion fraction for minorities decreased by 3.1 percent. The final component
oftotal reported pregnancies is the relatively small number of fetal deaths. The overall fetal death rate
(fetal deaths per 1,000 deliveries) decreased by 6.3 percent from 1998 to 1999.

*Pregnancy, fertility, and abortion rates for 1 989- 1 999 are not the same as published in some previous reports due to revised population
estimates. In almost all cases, the updated total and white rates are slightly lower and mmonty rates are slightly higher than rates
previously published.

On pages 2-3 through 2-20, maps and tables show county-specific pregnancy, fertility, and abortion
rates, as well as abortion fi-actions for 1999. Fetal death rates are not given due to the instability of the
county rates for a single year. Users are referred to the five-year fetal death rates published in North
Carolina Vital Statistics, Volume 1.
