Maternity publications

This publication is a maternity care data set standard for New Zealand, defining the information that must be recorded to support high-quality maternity care to women and their babies, and to provide structured and coded information for reporting and analytics.

This report presents the activities and recommendations of the National Maternity Monitoring Group (NMMG) in 2017/18.

The Report on Maternity 2017 provides health statistics about women giving birth, their pregnancy and childbirth experience and the characteristics of live-born babies in New Zealand. The focus is on births in 2017.

These tables present a summary of fetal and infant deaths, with a focus on deaths and stillbirths registered in 2015. Information presented includes demographic information (eg, ethnicity and sex), cause of death, gestation and birthweight, as well as deaths classified as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI).
