Query Builder for New Jersey Birth Data: Percentage of High Birthweight Infants (4000 or more grams)

Overview

Overview

The birth data in this NJSHAD query module come from the New Jersey Birth Certificate database. The database is maintained by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of Vital Statistics and Registration. All data shown are for New Jersey residents regardless of where the birth occurred.

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 to get your query result.
Step 1: Select year (2008)

Selecting years

Select a range of years. Use Ctrl to make multiple selections.
Select years.

Step 2: Select mother's age (Predefined age groups: All ages)

Choose a coding scheme to use for age groups. Default is pre-defined age groups, all ages.

Maternal age groups (Under 15, 15-17, 18-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50+)

How to Specify Age Groups

Enter whole numbers from 0 to 99.

Use a hyphen to indicate a range of ages (e.g., "5-8" will include ages 5, 6, 7, and 8).

You may use greater than (>) or less than (<) symbols.

You may use a plus sign (+) to indicate all ages equal to or greater than (e.g.,"35+" yields all those aged 35 and over).

Enter "unknown" to include those with unreported age in total results.
Enter custom age group (Click HELP icon to the right for more information.)











Step 3: Select mother's race and/or ethnicity (Race/ethnicity combined: All races/ethnicities)

Race and Ethnicity

Race and Hispanic ethnicity are collected separately on birth certificates.

Therefore each birth record has both a race (White, Black, etc.) and an ethnicity (Hispanic or non-Hispanic) for the mother and data for race and ethnicity may be presented separately (Race or Hispanic origin) or combined (Race/Ethnicity).
Choose a coding scheme to use for race and ethnicity. Default is race/ethnicity combined, all races/ethnicities.

Mother's race/ethnicity
All races/ethnicities
White, non-Hispanic
Black, non-Hispanic
Hispanic (of any race)
Asian/Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic
Other Races, non-Hispanic

Mother's Race

Race groups include both Hispanics and non-Hispanics.
Mother's race
All races
White
Black or African American
American Indian or Alaskan Native
Asian or Pacific Islander
Other Races

Mother's Ethnicity

Step 4: Select other maternal characteristics

Select other characteristics of the mother that you would like to include in your analysis. The default is all characteristics.

Nativity (birthplace)
U.S.
Puerto Rico
Remainder of World
Marital status
Both married and unmarried
Married
Not Married
Education

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.
Parity (previous births)
None
One
Two
Three or More
Tobacco use during pregnancy
Yes
No
Alcohol use during pregnancy
Yes
No

Drug Use

Reporting of drug use during pregnancy was incomplete before 1996, therefore all maternal drug use data for 1990-1995 are shown as Unknown.
Drug use during pregnancy
Yes
No

Medicaid Status

Health insurance information was not collected with birth certificate data prior to 1997, therefore all Medicaid status data for 1990-1996 are shown as Unknown.
Medicaid status
Medicaid
Not Medicaid
Step 5: Select infant characteristics

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

Gender
Both male and female
Male
Female

Plurality

All data in NJSHAD are for individual infants, therefore a set of twins shows as two births not one set and so forth for triplets, quadruplets, and so on.

Plurality refers to the number of fetuses in the pregnancy not the number born, thus if there are fetal deaths during the pregnancy any surviving children are still considered multiples. Therefore, the number of quadruplets will not always be a multiple of four, the number of triplets a multiple of three, etc.
Plurality (single or multiple birth)

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.
Gestational age

Size for Gestational Age

Small for gestational age (SGA) is a term used to describe a baby who is smaller than usual for the number of weeks of pregnancy. SGA babies usually have birthweights below the 10th percentile for babies of the same gestational age. This means that they weigh less than 90 percent of all other babies of the same gestational age.

Large for gestational age (LGA) is a term used to describe a baby who is larger than usual for the number of weeks of pregnancy. LGA babies usually have birthweights above the 90th percentile for babies of the same gestational age. This means that they weigh more than 90 percent of all other babies of the same gestational age.
Large or small for gestational age
Small
Appropriate
Large
Apgar score
All scores
