A Linked Perinatal, Birth Death Data set was created by linking jurisdictional perinatal and birth registration records to the National Death Index to identify Indigenous under-5 deaths occurring in specified birth cohorts within jurisdictional Perinatal Data Collections. This report examines the feasibility of using this linked data collection for analysis and explores the associated methodology, data quality issues and analysis of risk factors associated with adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes.

Jurisdictional perinatal and birth registration records were linked to the National Death Index from 2003 to 2015
-
There has been continuous improvement in the quality of the perinatal data since 2010
