AIHW - Child and Maternal Health Indicators - Low Birthweight Live Births by Indigenous Mothers (%) (SA4) 2012-2016

Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of live births that were of low birthweight from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers. The data spans every two years between 2012-2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) geographic areas from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

The Child and Maternal Health Indicators have been calculated from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Mortality Database and Register of Births and National Perinatal Data Collection. This measure has been calculated with the numerator as the total number of low birthweight liveborn singleton babies from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers, and the denominator as the total number of live births from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers.

Please note:

  • AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.

  • This dataset uses the World Health Organisation (WHO) definition of a low birthweight baby as weighing less than 2,500 grams.

  • Data at the area level exclude births to Australian non-residents and women who could not be allocated because their usual residence was not stated or was not valid.

  • Multiple births and stillbirths have been excluded.

  • Percentage for an area are suppressed for publication and marked as 'NP' if the total number of liveborn singleton babies for the area is less than 100.
