INTRODUCTION This volume is the 83rd annual vital statistics report of the State of North Carolina. It is intended to serve as a basic resource to those individuals, institutions, and agencies delivering and/or planning health services for the citizens of North Carolina. The tables of this report show annual frequencies, annual rates, and 5-year rates for the state, six Perinatal Care Regions, and the 100 counties of North Carolina. In addition, annual frequencies and selected rates are shown for 50 major incorporated cities, those of at least 10,000 population in 1990. Users of city data should be aware that annexations may account for small to substantial increases in population and reported vital events. Trends in state data are described in Section II, while Section III contains maps depicting county data. Sections IV-VII contain description and discussion of the terms and procedures underlying all tabular and graphical data presented. Other publications available through this office are described on the back of the front cover. If you want copies of these publications, contact Information Services at (919) 733-4728 or address corre-spondence to: State Center for Health Statistics Department of Health and Human Services 1908 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1908 Caution: Any percentage or rate with a small number of events in the numerator will have substantial random variation over time. A rule of thumb is that any percentage or rate with fewer than 20 events in the numerator may be subject to serious random error. Therefore, many of the percentages and rates in this volume should be interpreted with caution. 1-1 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/northcarolinavitv1nort II. HIGHLIGHTS IN VITAL STATISTICS (Changes from 1997 to 1998) LIVE BIRTHS - The overall birth rate showed an increase of 2.8 percent. The increase was greater for the white popu-lation, up by 3 percent, as compared to the minority population where the increase was 2.3 percent. - The percentage of births attended by certified nurse-midwives increased by 7 percent, from 7.0 per-cent to 7.5 percent, following a substantial increase of 23 percent in the previous year. - The percentage of babies born with a low birthweight (less than 2500 grams) remained at the same level as that of the previous year. - The percentage of the state's live births that occurred out-of-wedlock edged up 1.9 percent, from 32.2 percent to 32.8 percent. - The percentage of mothers who smoked declined from 15.1 percent to 14.9 percent. The decline was similar for both whites and minorities. - The percentage of C-section births was up by 1 .9 percent, from 21 .4 percent to 2 1 .8 percent. PERINATAL AND INFANT MORTALITY - The perinatal mortality rate showed no change, remaining at 14.5. - Although the overall fetal death rate was the same as the year before at 8.0 percent, it increased for the whites from 6.0 percent to 6.3 percent and declined for the minorities from 12.9 to 12.3 percent. - The overall neonatal death rate showed no change. Looking at differences between the races, it was down for the whites by 8.3 percent, whereas for minorities it was up by 10.4 percent. - The postneonatal death rate showed a slight increase from 2.7 in 1997 to 2.8 in 1998. - The infant death rate increased slightly from the year before, from 9.2 to 9.3. DEATHS - The overall death rate increased slightly to 9.0 deaths per 1 ,000 population, from 8.9 deaths per 1 ,000 population in 1998. MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES - The marriage rate declined by 2.3 percent from 8.7 per 1 ,000 population in 1997 to 8.5 in 1998. This trend was also seen in the marriage rate for the United States, which declined by 5.6 percent. - The divorce rate in North Carolina was down by 2 percent. This was in line with the national divorce rate which exhibited a decline of 2.3 percent. 1-3 Trends depicted in the graphs are for North Carolina and the United States. Data for the U.S. are from the National Center for Health Statistics.

GEOGRAPHICAL PATTERNS IN VITAL STATISTICS This section contains nine maps depicting population and selected vital statistics for the state's 100 counties. Data and population bases for the vital statistics rates are for the 5-year period 1994-98. The range of data values indicated by the map legend was formed by a clustering routine from the Statistical Analysis System. 1 This routine groups into five clusters counties that were "most like each other" with respect to the statistic being examined. This procedure may result in very large or very small groups, depending upon how counties differ from one another. The nine maps display the county statistics listed below. Definitions and formulas are found in Section VII and maps displaying county names are printed on the reverse sides of region and county divider sheets. It should be noted that marriage and divorce rates are not mapped because these data are tabulated only by county of occurrence, not county of residence. FIGURE 1. Estimated Population, July 1998 2. Live Births per 1,000 Population 3. Low Birthweight Live Births per 100 Live Births 4. Out-of-Wedlock Live Births per 100 Live Births 5. Fetal Deaths per 1,000 Deliveries 6. Neonatal Deaths per 1,000 Live Births 7. Postneonatal Deaths per 1,000 Neonatal Survivors 8. Infant Deaths per 1,000 Live Births 9. Deaths per 1,000 Population Although the vital statistics rates shown on the maps are 5-year rates, be careful when interpreting relatively high rates in sparsely populated counties. These counties usually have a small number of births and deaths, which may create a very unstable rate. Consult your respective county tables for the 1998 numbers involved before becoming alarmed at relatively high county-level rates. 1-7 o Q-p 1-8 CO 03 CO CN I c CO o> CO »®- ~o T- T- 1- Q.

REGISTRATION OF VITAL EVENTS The origin, flow, and disposition of North Carolina vital records are illustrated in the flow diagram on the following page. A brief history of vital records processing and current registration practice in North Carolina is presented. The Bureau of Vital Statistics was created by an act of the General Assembly in 1913. The Vital Statistics office became a part ofthe Department ofHuman Resources in 1973. In 1989, the General Assembly combined the Department ofHuman Resources' Division ofHealth Services and the environmental and natural resources divisions of the Department ofNatural Resources and Community Development to create the new Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources. In 1997 the public health divisions, including the Vital Statistics office, were combined back with the human resources division to form a new Department of Health and Human Services. The public health authority of this department and the laws that it administers are contained in Chapter 130A, Article 4, of the General Statutes of North Carolina. Within the organizational structure of the Department of Health and Human Services, the State Registrar of Vital Statistics is appointed by the State Health Director. Duties of the State Registrar are accomplished primarily by the Vital Records Branch of the State Center for Health Statistics. Birth and Death The collection of birth and death records began on October 1, 1913. The Department of Health and Human Services is the custodian ofthese records. The hospital administrator or person attending a non-hospital delivery is required to file a birth certificate or fetal death report within 10 days after delivery. The funeral director or person burying or otherwise disposing of a body is responsible for filing a death certificate with the local registrar within five days after death. The local registrar is the county health director. A clerk of the county health department, designated by the local registrar as deputy registrar, carries out registration procedures locally. The deputy registrar forwards the original birth and death certificates to the Department of Health and Human Services on the fifth day of the month following the birth or death, where they are processed and permanently preserved. Microfilmed copies and computerized data from birth and death certificates are sent to the National Center for Health Statistics. North Carolina was admitted into the National Death Registration Area in 1916 and into the National Birth Registration Area in 1917. Fetal Death North Carolina law requires the filing of a fetal death report for fetal deaths (stillbirths) of 20 or more weeks gestation. Legislation enacted by the 1971 General Assembly and subsequent legislation requires that therapeutic abortions be reported separately, effective May 19, 1971. Thus, the induced abortion report form now replaces a fetal death report for the very few therapeutic abortions occurring at 20 or more weeks gestation. For this reason, counts of fetal deaths and perinatal deaths since 1971 are not strictly comparable to counts in previous years. Marriage and Divorce In 1957, the General Assembly enacted legislation requiring that the duties of the clerk of court include the registration of divorces and annulments of marriage effective January 1, 1958. Certificates of divorce and annulments are required to be sent to the Department of Health and Human Services on or before the 15th day of the month following the event. The filing of certificates of divorce rather than divorce listings was started January 1, 1984, following legislation in 1983. By virtue of legislation enacted in 1961, the duties of the county register of deeds include the registration of marriages occurring on or after January 1, 1962. Copies of the certificates of marriage are required to be forwarded to the Department of Health and Human Services on or before the 15th day of the month following the marriage. The original certificates are filed with the county register of deeds. In January 1964, North Carolina was admitted to the National Marriage Registration Area. North Carolina is not a member of the National Divorce Registration Area. 1-17 THE ORIGIN, FLOW, AND DISPOSITION OF VITAL RECORDS NORTH CAROLINA HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR Statutory Citation G.S. 130A-101 & 114 Completes birth certifi-cate or fetal death report for hospital deliveries.

OTHER STATES Exchange birth and death records. 1-18 V. TECHNICAL NOTES Residence Allocation Except as otherwise indicated, births and deaths in this report are based on place of residence. In the case of a birth or fetal death, residence is the usual residence of the mother. For deaths of persons in long-term institutions (mental, penal, old age, orphan, nursing home, rest home, etc.), the institution is considered the usual residence, provided the decedent has resided in the institution at least one year. College students and military personnel are considered residents of the college or military community. North Carolina participates in an interchange program whereby photocopies of nonresident birth and death certificates are required to be sent to the state of residence within two months of the date of occurrence. The National Center for Health Statistics acts as a control for this interchange through a report from each state that lists the number of each type of vital record sent to every other state. However, delays or omissions in the interchange undoubtedly occur. Occurrence Allocation Items 9 and 18 of the tables allocate live births and deaths respectively to place of occurrence regardless of place of residence. Marriage and divorce data are compiled only by place of occurrence -county of license for marriages and county of decree for divorces and annulments - because (i) all states do not engage in an interchange program whereby we receive notification of North Carolina residents who marry or divorce in other states and (ii) the two parties to these proceedings are often residents of different counties or states. Race or Color Allocation Two broad categories, "white" and "minority," are used in this report. Minority is predominantly black (>90%) in North Carolina. For births and fetal deaths, the child is considered to be the same race as the mother. Due to some cases of different races of the two parties involved in marriage and divorce/annulment proceedings and to a number of "not stated" race cases, frequencies and rates for these events are not shown by race. Completeness of Registration of Vital Events Completeness of registration is defined as the degree to which reported birth and death counts agree with the true counts in a given time frame. Birth registration, tested for completeness in 1940 and 1950, was found to be 86 and 96 percent complete respectively. 2 Death registration is believed to be even more complete than birth registration. Fetal death registration, tested for completeness in 1974, was found to be 99 percent complete. 3 Marriage registration was tested for completeness in 1963. Over 99 percent of performed marriages had a properly recorded certificate of marriage.4 Delayed registration results in incomplete recording of vital events for a specific time period. Frequency counts in this report are based on 1 998 events filed with the local registrar prior to April 1 , 1 999, and processed in the state office before the end of June 1 999. Based on examinations of lagtimes in prior years, the number of calendar year events filed after April 1 of the subsequent year is considered negligible. In addition to the above, a source of incompleteness in residence data could involve failure of other states to send photocopies for North Carolina resident events occurring in their states. The extent to which this occurs is unknown. 19 Accuracy of Items on Certificate The Vital Records Branch maintains continuous surveillance of certificates to detect inconsistencies in related items (e.g., newborn's name vs. sex). However, the true extent of bias and unreliability of vital records data is not known. One study by the State Center for Health Statistics has addressed the issue of the validity of selected birth certificate items, as compared with information recorded in the mother's hospital medical record. 5 Treatment of Missing Values As a result of a survey to reconcile inconsistencies in the data and to complete unanswered items, missing values are rare for the characteristics included in this report. These "not stated" cases are treated in one of two ways: ( 1 ) not allocated because they are believed to have an unknown distribution that is different from the distribution for "stated" cases; or (2) randomly distributed in the same proportion as the "stated" cases for the state. The following table shows the number and treatment of missing values in the statistical files underlying this report. In the case of race, marital status, mother smoked, and method of delivery, most of the missing values are due to absence of these items on certificates from other states. Number of Missing Values by Item and Treatment North Carolina 1998 Treatment of Missing Values Treatment 1 Treatment 2 Live Births Sex Birth Weight 54 Marital Status 17 Race Mother Smoked 157 Method of Delivery 32 Deaths Age Race Sex Fetal Deaths Marital Status 10 Race 33 1-20 VI. POPULATION BASES AND BIASES IN VITAL STATISTICS RATES Every 10 years (years ending in zero) the U.S. Bureau of the Census counts the United States population, which includes a profile of the population's characteristics such as age, race, and sex. After a census year, estimates of population size and composition are based on knowledge of the population in the census year plus subsequent events such as births, deaths, and migration. In the latter years of a decade, estimates may depart considerably from "true" population values to the extent that assumptions, particularly about in- and out- migration, depart from what has actually occurred. Thus, vital statistics rates that are based on population counts in the denominator may be subject to some degree of error. -21 VII. DEFINITIONS AND FORMULAS Caution: Any percentage or rate with a small number of events in the numerator will have substantial random variation over time. A rule of thumb is that any percentage or rate with fewer than 20 events in the numerator may be subject to serious random error. Therefore, many of the percentages and rates in this volume should be interpreted with caution. Births and deaths are exhibited in the tables of this report by frequencies and rates. The term "rate" usually means the number of vital events in a given period of time divided by the average number of people at risk during that period. In this report, the average number of people at risk is usually the midyear population, the period is one year or five years, and the rate is expressed per 1 ,000 population. For example, the formula for a single-year birth rate is B— x 1,000 P where B is the number of births in the year and P is the midyear population. Similarly, the formula for a 5-year birth rate is B, + B2+ B 3 + B4 + B 5 x 1 ,000 P l + p2+p+p4+ps where B , B,, etc. are the numbers of births in the particular years and P , P , etc. are the midyear populations in those years. The term rate is also used in this report to mean a simple proportion expressed per 100 or per 1,000. These rates are the ratio of two related vital event counts. An example of this type of rate is the single-year infant mortality rate. The formula is D— x 1,000 B where D represents deaths of infants during a year and B represents live births during the same year. Another example is the low birthweight rate which is the ratio of low birthweight births to total births expressed as a percentage. LBW x 100 B Rates are rounded to one decimal place for publication. Except for marriages and divorces for which race-specific rates are not calculated, a blank in the rate column indicates that both the numerator and the denominator are zero. A rate of 0.0 is shown for rates less than 0.05. Inaccurate reporting, under-registration, and missing values have been discussed (Section V). These factors affect the validity of information involved in rate computation. The users of vital statistics measures should be aware of these possible limitations. Furthermore, you should cautiously interpret rates that are based on small frequencies since they may be associated with relatively large chance fluctuation. For this reason, 5-year rates are included. Based on an increased number of events, these average annual rates are more stable than the single-year rates. In comparing rates, consider carefully the factors to which a difference in rates might be attributed. Unless the populations are equivalent in all factors except the one for which the comparison is made, conclusions about differences in rates may not be clearly drawn. Age-adjusted rates or other further analyses may be necessary in order to make valid comparisons. 1-23 Definitions and formulas are given in the numerical order of their appearance in the tables. Except for items 9 and 1 8-20, rates are for resident events. Definitions 1 . Population is the expected population of an area as of July 1 of the event year. Figures shown in the tables of this report are summations overage-race-sex-specific estimates provided by the Office of State Planning. 2. Natural Increase is the excess of births over deaths among residents of an area. 3. A Live Birth is the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which, after separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or any definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached (definition adopted by World Health Organization in 1950). 4. Attendant is a physician (M.D. or D.O.) in a hospital, a physician not in a hospital, a certified nurse-midwife (CNM), or other attendant. Legislation during 1983 (H.B. 814) regulates the practices of CNMs; these practitioners must have certification by the American College of Nurse-Midwives. 5. Low Birthweight includes liveborn infants weighing under 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces or less) at birth, regardless of the period of gestation. (Birthweight index recommended by the Expert Group on Prematurity of the World Health Organization, 1950). 6. Birth Out of Wedlock is birth to a woman who has never been legally married or who has been widowed or legally divorced from her husband in excess of 280 days.6 7. Mother Smoked is based on birth certificate reporting that the mother used tobacco during the pregnancy. 8. C-Section indicates that the method of delivery was either a primary or a repeat C-section. 9. An Occurrence Birth is one that occurs in an area irrespective of place of residence. Live births occurring in an area to residents of the area are also shown in the tables. Complementary totals, i.e., nonresident births occurring in the area and resident births occurring elsewhere, may be obtained by subtraction. 10. Perinatal Deaths are the sum of registered fetal deaths and neonatal deaths (see definitions below). 1 1 . Fetal Death is death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of human conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, as indicated by the fact that after such expulsion or extraction the fetus does not breathe or show any evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles (definition adopted by World Health Organization in 1 950). Consistent with North Carolina law, this report includes only fetal deaths which do not qualify as therapeutic abortions and which result from pregnancies of 20 or more weeks gestation (see Section IV). 1 2. Neonatal Death is death of a liveborn child under 28 days of age. 13. Postneonatal Death is death of an infant age 28 days and over but less than one year of age. 14. Infant Death is defined as death of a liveborn infant under one year of age. 15. Death is defined as the permanent disappearance of any evidence of life at any time after live birth. 7 Also, North Carolina law (G.S. 90-322) defines criteria for certifying "brain death." 1-24 1 6. Age at Death is reported age in completed years as of the last birthday. Errors in reporting are believed to include underestimates for ages 22 through middle age and overestimates for persons nearing their 21st and 65th birthdays and for those over age 65. Preferences for ages ending in certain digits (e.g., age ending in and 5) may also result in undue concentrations of reported ages.* 17. Place of Death is the hospital, other institution, or noninstitution place of death. 1 8. An Occurrence Death is one that occurs in an area regardless of place of residence. 1 9. Marriage is defined as the legal union of a male and a female (North Carolina G.S. 51-1). Marriages are by place of occurrence; race-specific data are not shown (see Section V). 20. Divorces and Annulments can occur only by decree of an authorized court. Annulments, which void marriage from the beginning, constitute less than one percent of the sum of these events. A divorce from bed and board is a judicial separation suspending cohabitation but not otherwise affecting the marriage bond. Divorces from bed and board are not included in this report. Divorces and annulments are by place of occurrence; race-specific data are not shown (see Section V). Formulas 1 .

INTRODUCTION This volume is the 83rd annual vital statistics report of the State of North Carolina. It is intended to serve as a basic resource to those individuals, institutions, and agencies delivering and/or planning health services for the citizens of North Carolina. The tables of this report show annual frequencies, annual rates, and 5-year rates for the state, six Perinatal Care Regions, and the 100 counties of North Carolina. In addition, annual frequencies and selected rates are shown for 50 major incorporated cities, those of at least 10,000 population in 1990. Users of city data should be aware that annexations may account for small to substantial increases in population and reported vital events. Trends in state data are described in Section II, while Section III contains maps depicting county data. Sections IV-VII contain description and discussion of the terms and procedures underlying all tabular and graphical data presented. Other publications available through this office are described on the back of the front cover. If you want copies of these publications, contact Information Services at (919) 733-4728 or address corre-spondence to: State Center for Health Statistics Department of Health and Human Services 1908 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1908 Caution: Any percentage or rate with a small number of events in the numerator will have substantial random variation over time. A rule of thumb is that any percentage or rate with fewer than 20 events in the numerator may be subject to serious random error. Therefore, many of the percentages and rates in this volume should be interpreted with caution. 1-1 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/northcarolinavitv1nort II. HIGHLIGHTS IN VITAL STATISTICS (Changes from 1997 to 1998) LIVE BIRTHS - The overall birth rate showed an increase of 2.8 percent. The increase was greater for the white popu-lation, up by 3 percent, as compared to the minority population where the increase was 2.3 percent. - The percentage of births attended by certified nurse-midwives increased by 7 percent, from 7.0 per-cent to 7.5 percent, following a substantial increase of 23 percent in the previous year. - The percentage of babies born with a low birthweight (less than 2500 grams) remained at the same level as that of the previous year. - The percentage of the state's live births that occurred out-of-wedlock edged up 1.9 percent, from 32.2 percent to 32.8 percent. - The percentage of mothers who smoked declined from 15.1 percent to 14.9 percent. The decline was similar for both whites and minorities. - The percentage of C-section births was up by 1 .9 percent, from 21 .4 percent to 2 1 .8 percent. PERINATAL AND INFANT MORTALITY - The perinatal mortality rate showed no change, remaining at 14.5. - Although the overall fetal death rate was the same as the year before at 8.0 percent, it increased for the whites from 6.0 percent to 6.3 percent and declined for the minorities from 12.9 to 12.3 percent. - The overall neonatal death rate showed no change. Looking at differences between the races, it was down for the whites by 8.3 percent, whereas for minorities it was up by 10.4 percent. - The postneonatal death rate showed a slight increase from 2.7 in 1997 to 2.8 in 1998. - The infant death rate increased slightly from the year before, from 9.2 to 9.3.

MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES - The marriage rate declined by 2.3 percent from 8.7 per 1 ,000 population in 1997 to 8.5 in 1998. This trend was also seen in the marriage rate for the United States, which declined by 5.6 percent. - The divorce rate in North Carolina was down by 2 percent. This was in line with the national divorce rate which exhibited a decline of 2.3 percent. 1-3 Trends depicted in the graphs are for North Carolina and the United States. Data for the U.S. are from the National Center for Health Statistics.

GEOGRAPHICAL PATTERNS IN VITAL STATISTICS This section contains nine maps depicting population and selected vital statistics for the state's 100 counties. Data and population bases for the vital statistics rates are for the 5-year period 1994-98. The range of data values indicated by the map legend was formed by a clustering routine from the Statistical Analysis System. 1 This routine groups into five clusters counties that were "most like each other" with respect to the statistic being examined. This procedure may result in very large or very small groups, depending upon how counties differ from one another. The nine maps display the county statistics listed below. Definitions and formulas are found in Section VII and maps displaying county names are printed on the reverse sides of region and county divider sheets. It should be noted that marriage and divorce rates are not mapped because these data are tabulated only by county of occurrence, not county of residence. FIGURE 1. Estimated Population, July 1998 2.

Deaths per 1,000 Population Although the vital statistics rates shown on the maps are 5-year rates, be careful when interpreting relatively high rates in sparsely populated counties. These counties usually have a small number of births and deaths, which may create a very unstable rate. Consult your respective county tables for the 1998 numbers involved before becoming alarmed at relatively high county-level rates. 1-7 o Q-p 1-8 CO 03 CO CN I c CO o> CO »®- ~o T- T- 1- Q.

REGISTRATION OF VITAL EVENTS The origin, flow, and disposition of North Carolina vital records are illustrated in the flow diagram on the following page. A brief history of vital records processing and current registration practice in North Carolina is presented. The Bureau of Vital Statistics was created by an act of the General Assembly in 1913. The Vital Statistics office became a part ofthe Department ofHuman Resources in 1973. In 1989, the General Assembly combined the Department ofHuman Resources' Division ofHealth Services and the environmental and natural resources divisions of the Department ofNatural Resources and Community Development to create the new Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources. In 1997 the public health divisions, including the Vital Statistics office, were combined back with the human resources division to form a new Department of Health and Human Services. The public health authority of this department and the laws that it administers are contained in Chapter 130A, Article 4, of the General Statutes of North Carolina. Within the organizational structure of the Department of Health and Human Services, the State Registrar of Vital Statistics is appointed by the State Health Director. Duties of the State Registrar are accomplished primarily by the Vital Records Branch of the State Center for Health Statistics. Birth and Death The collection of birth and death records began on October 1, 1913. The Department of Health and Human Services is the custodian ofthese records. The hospital administrator or person attending a non-hospital delivery is required to file a birth certificate or fetal death report within 10 days after delivery. The funeral director or person burying or otherwise disposing of a body is responsible for filing a death certificate with the local registrar within five days after death. The local registrar is the county health director. A clerk of the county health department, designated by the local registrar as deputy registrar, carries out registration procedures locally. The deputy registrar forwards the original birth and death certificates to the Department of Health and Human Services on the fifth day of the month following the birth or death, where they are processed and permanently preserved. Microfilmed copies and computerized data from birth and death certificates are sent to the National Center for Health Statistics. North Carolina was admitted into the National Death Registration Area in 1916 and into the National Birth Registration Area in 1917. Fetal Death North Carolina law requires the filing of a fetal death report for fetal deaths (stillbirths) of 20 or more weeks gestation. Legislation enacted by the 1971 General Assembly and subsequent legislation requires that therapeutic abortions be reported separately, effective May 19, 1971. Thus, the induced abortion report form now replaces a fetal death report for the very few therapeutic abortions occurring at 20 or more weeks gestation. For this reason, counts of fetal deaths and perinatal deaths since 1971 are not strictly comparable to counts in previous years. Marriage and Divorce In 1957, the General Assembly enacted legislation requiring that the duties of the clerk of court include the registration of divorces and annulments of marriage effective January 1, 1958. Certificates of divorce and annulments are required to be sent to the Department of Health and Human Services on or before the 15th day of the month following the event. The filing of certificates of divorce rather than divorce listings was started January 1, 1984, following legislation in 1983. By virtue of legislation enacted in 1961, the duties of the county register of deeds include the registration of marriages occurring on or after January 1, 1962. Copies of the certificates of marriage are required to be forwarded to the Department of Health and Human Services on or before the 15th day of the month following the marriage. The original certificates are filed with the county register of deeds. In January 1964, North Carolina was admitted to the National Marriage Registration Area. North Carolina is not a member of the National Divorce Registration Area. 1-17 THE ORIGIN, FLOW, AND DISPOSITION OF VITAL RECORDS NORTH CAROLINA HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR Statutory Citation G.S. 130A-101 & 114 Completes birth certifi-cate or fetal death report for hospital deliveries.

OTHER STATES Exchange birth and death records. 1-18 V. TECHNICAL NOTES Residence Allocation Except as otherwise indicated, births and deaths in this report are based on place of residence. In the case of a birth or fetal death, residence is the usual residence of the mother. For deaths of persons in long-term institutions (mental, penal, old age, orphan, nursing home, rest home, etc.), the institution is considered the usual residence, provided the decedent has resided in the institution at least one year. College students and military personnel are considered residents of the college or military community. North Carolina participates in an interchange program whereby photocopies of nonresident birth and death certificates are required to be sent to the state of residence within two months of the date of occurrence. The National Center for Health Statistics acts as a control for this interchange through a report from each state that lists the number of each type of vital record sent to every other state. However, delays or omissions in the interchange undoubtedly occur. Occurrence Allocation Items 9 and 18 of the tables allocate live births and deaths respectively to place of occurrence regardless of place of residence. Marriage and divorce data are compiled only by place of occurrence -county of license for marriages and county of decree for divorces and annulments - because (i) all states do not engage in an interchange program whereby we receive notification of North Carolina residents who marry or divorce in other states and (ii) the two parties to these proceedings are often residents of different counties or states. Race or Color Allocation Two broad categories, "white" and "minority," are used in this report. Minority is predominantly black (>90%) in North Carolina. For births and fetal deaths, the child is considered to be the same race as the mother. Due to some cases of different races of the two parties involved in marriage and divorce/annulment proceedings and to a number of "not stated" race cases, frequencies and rates for these events are not shown by race. Completeness of Registration of Vital Events Completeness of registration is defined as the degree to which reported birth and death counts agree with the true counts in a given time frame. Birth registration, tested for completeness in 1940 and 1950, was found to be 86 and 96 percent complete respectively. 2 Death registration is believed to be even more complete than birth registration. Fetal death registration, tested for completeness in 1974, was found to be 99 percent complete. 3 Marriage registration was tested for completeness in 1963. Over 99 percent of performed marriages had a properly recorded certificate of marriage.4 Delayed registration results in incomplete recording of vital events for a specific time period. Frequency counts in this report are based on 1 998 events filed with the local registrar prior to April 1 , 1 999, and processed in the state office before the end of June 1 999. Based on examinations of lagtimes in prior years, the number of calendar year events filed after April 1 of the subsequent year is considered negligible. In addition to the above, a source of incompleteness in residence data could involve failure of other states to send photocopies for North Carolina resident events occurring in their states. The extent to which this occurs is unknown. 19 Accuracy of Items on Certificate The Vital Records Branch maintains continuous surveillance of certificates to detect inconsistencies in related items (e.g., newborn's name vs. sex). However, the true extent of bias and unreliability of vital records data is not known. One study by the State Center for Health Statistics has addressed the issue of the validity of selected birth certificate items, as compared with information recorded in the mother's hospital medical record. 5 Treatment of Missing Values As a result of a survey to reconcile inconsistencies in the data and to complete unanswered items, missing values are rare for the characteristics included in this report. These "not stated" cases are treated in one of two ways: ( 1 ) not allocated because they are believed to have an unknown distribution that is different from the distribution for "stated" cases; or (2) randomly distributed in the same proportion as the "stated" cases for the state. The following table shows the number and treatment of missing values in the statistical files underlying this report. In the case of race, marital status, mother smoked, and method of delivery, most of the missing values are due to absence of these items on certificates from other states. Number of Missing Values by Item and Treatment North Carolina 1998 Treatment of Missing Values Treatment 1 Treatment 2 Live Births Sex Birth Weight 54 Marital Status 17 Race Mother Smoked 157 Method of Delivery 32 Deaths Age Race Sex Fetal Deaths Marital Status 10 Race 33 1-20 VI. POPULATION BASES AND BIASES IN VITAL STATISTICS RATES Every 10 years (years ending in zero) the U.S. Bureau of the Census counts the United States population, which includes a profile of the population's characteristics such as age, race, and sex. After a census year, estimates of population size and composition are based on knowledge of the population in the census year plus subsequent events such as births, deaths, and migration. In the latter years of a decade, estimates may depart considerably from "true" population values to the extent that assumptions, particularly about in- and out- migration, depart from what has actually occurred. Thus, vital statistics rates that are based on population counts in the denominator may be subject to some degree of error. -21 VII. DEFINITIONS AND FORMULAS Caution: Any percentage or rate with a small number of events in the numerator will have substantial random variation over time. A rule of thumb is that any percentage or rate with fewer than 20 events in the numerator may be subject to serious random error. Therefore, many of the percentages and rates in this volume should be interpreted with caution. Births and deaths are exhibited in the tables of this report by frequencies and rates. The term "rate" usually means the number of vital events in a given period of time divided by the average number of people at risk during that period. In this report, the average number of people at risk is usually the midyear population, the period is one year or five years, and the rate is expressed per 1 ,000 population. For example, the formula for a single-year birth rate is B— x 1,000 P where B is the number of births in the year and P is the midyear population. Similarly, the formula for a 5-year birth rate is B, + B2+ B 3 + B4 + B 5 x 1 ,000 P l + p2+p+p4+ps where B , B,, etc. are the numbers of births in the particular years and P , P , etc. are the midyear populations in those years. The term rate is also used in this report to mean a simple proportion expressed per 100 or per 1,000. These rates are the ratio of two related vital event counts. An example of this type of rate is the single-year infant mortality rate. The formula is D— x 1,000 B where D represents deaths of infants during a year and B represents live births during the same year. Another example is the low birthweight rate which is the ratio of low birthweight births to total births expressed as a percentage. LBW x 100 B Rates are rounded to one decimal place for publication. Except for marriages and divorces for which race-specific rates are not calculated, a blank in the rate column indicates that both the numerator and the denominator are zero. A rate of 0.0 is shown for rates less than 0.05. Inaccurate reporting, under-registration, and missing values have been discussed (Section V). These factors affect the validity of information involved in rate computation. The users of vital statistics measures should be aware of these possible limitations. Furthermore, you should cautiously interpret rates that are based on small frequencies since they may be associated with relatively large chance fluctuation. For this reason, 5-year rates are included. Based on an increased number of events, these average annual rates are more stable than the single-year rates. In comparing rates, consider carefully the factors to which a difference in rates might be attributed. Unless the populations are equivalent in all factors except the one for which the comparison is made, conclusions about differences in rates may not be clearly drawn. Age-adjusted rates or other further analyses may be necessary in order to make valid comparisons. 1-23 Definitions and formulas are given in the numerical order of their appearance in the tables. Except for items 9 and 1 8-20, rates are for resident events. Definitions 1 . Population is the expected population of an area as of July 1 of the event year. Figures shown in the tables of this report are summations overage-race-sex-specific estimates provided by the Office of State Planning. 2. Natural Increase is the excess of births over deaths among residents of an area. 3. A Live Birth is the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which, after separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or any definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached (definition adopted by World Health Organization in 1950). 4. Attendant is a physician (M.D. or D.O.) in a hospital, a physician not in a hospital, a certified nurse-midwife (CNM), or other attendant. Legislation during 1983 (H.B. 814) regulates the practices of CNMs; these practitioners must have certification by the American College of Nurse-Midwives. 5. Low Birthweight includes liveborn infants weighing under 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces or less) at birth, regardless of the period of gestation. (Birthweight index recommended by the Expert Group on Prematurity of the World Health Organization, 1950). 6. Birth Out of Wedlock is birth to a woman who has never been legally married or who has been widowed or legally divorced from her husband in excess of 280 days.6 7. Mother Smoked is based on birth certificate reporting that the mother used tobacco during the pregnancy. 8. C-Section indicates that the method of delivery was either a primary or a repeat C-section. 9. An Occurrence Birth is one that occurs in an area irrespective of place of residence. Live births occurring in an area to residents of the area are also shown in the tables. Complementary totals, i.e., nonresident births occurring in the area and resident births occurring elsewhere, may be obtained by subtraction. 10. Perinatal Deaths are the sum of registered fetal deaths and neonatal deaths (see definitions below). 1 1 . Fetal Death is death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of human conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, as indicated by the fact that after such expulsion or extraction the fetus does not breathe or show any evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles (definition adopted by World Health Organization in 1 950). Consistent with North Carolina law, this report includes only fetal deaths which do not qualify as therapeutic abortions and which result from pregnancies of 20 or more weeks gestation (see Section IV). 1 2. Neonatal Death is death of a liveborn child under 28 days of age. 13. Postneonatal Death is death of an infant age 28 days and over but less than one year of age. 14. Infant Death is defined as death of a liveborn infant under one year of age. 15. Death is defined as the permanent disappearance of any evidence of life at any time after live birth. 7 Also, North Carolina law (G.S. 90-322) defines criteria for certifying "brain death." 1-24 1 6. Age at Death is reported age in completed years as of the last birthday. Errors in reporting are believed to include underestimates for ages 22 through middle age and overestimates for persons nearing their 21st and 65th birthdays and for those over age 65. Preferences for ages ending in certain digits (e.g., age ending in and 5) may also result in undue concentrations of reported ages.* 17. Place of Death is the hospital, other institution, or noninstitution place of death. 1 8. An Occurrence Death is one that occurs in an area regardless of place of residence. 1 9. Marriage is defined as the legal union of a male and a female (North Carolina G.S. 51-1). Marriages are by place of occurrence; race-specific data are not shown (see Section V). 20. Divorces and Annulments can occur only by decree of an authorized court. Annulments, which void marriage from the beginning, constitute less than one percent of the sum of these events. A divorce from bed and board is a judicial separation suspending cohabitation but not otherwise affecting the marriage bond. Divorces from bed and board are not included in this report. Divorces and annulments are by place of occurrence; race-specific data are not shown (see Section V). Formulas 1 .
