Live Birth Data
Provides birth counts for North Carolina residents classified by year, county, mother's race, age, Hispanic origin, and education, child's gender and birth weight, as well as trimester prenatal care began, plurality of birth, and gestation period.

Birth Defect Data

The North Carolina Birth Defects Monitoring Program (BDMP) gathers data on infants who are born with serious congenital anomalies (birth defects) diagnosed within the first year of life. Data are collected by trained field staff who systematically review and abstract hospital medical records, supplemented by information from administrative health databases such as hospital discharge data, vital records, and other sources. This intensive method of case ascertainment provides the most complete, accurate, and timely data on the incidence of birth defects, thereby enhancing its usefulness to public health programs.
