This dataset contains counts of live births for California as a whole based on information entered on birth certificates. Final counts are derived from static data and include out of state births to California residents, whereas provisional counts are derived from incomplete and dynamic data. Provisional counts are based on the records available when the data was retrieved and may not represent all births that occurred during the time period.

The final data tables include both births that occurred in California regardless of the place of residence (by occurrence) and births to California residents (by residence), whereas the provisional data table only includes births that occurred in California regardless of the place of residence (by occurrence). The data are reported as totals, as well as stratified by parent giving birth's age, parent giving birth's race-ethnicity, and birth place type. See temporal coverage for more information on which strata are available for which years.

Connecticut's Birth to Three System (B23) supports families with infants and toddlers that have developmental delays to learn new ways to make everyday activities enhance the child's development. Birth to Three is administered pursuant to Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Once families with children below age 3 are referred, the child's development is evaluated for eligibility, and if eligible the family can receive supports until the child no longer has delays or until the child turns age 3. Because an infant can be referred within days of being born, a family may be enrolled for almost three full years. Connecticut's Birth to Three System publishes data annually by the fiscal and calendar year and longitudinally by birth cohort. CTData.org carries both sets of data, here and in 'Birth To Three Annual Data'. Birth cohort data looks at all children born in a particular year and tracks whether the family received B23 support. For example, the latest full year available in this dataset is for those children born in 2013 since they turned age 3 sometime in 2016. The 2013 data will tell you how many children there were whose families received support at some point during the first three years of the child's life. CTData calculates several indicators using total number of births in a town. This provides users with a general idea of the relative number of children in the community eligible for services. Using births is not perfect since families move in and out of town so it should not be used as an exact figure but as a general reference point. Below are how the indicators are calculated: % Referrals = Number referred divided by total number of births % Evaluations = Number evaluated divided by total number of births % Eligible = Number eligible divided by total number of births % Individual Family Service Plans (IFSP) = Number with IFSP divided by total number of births % Served = Number served divided by total number of births % Exited to Early Childhood Special Education = Number exited to early childhood special education divided by total number of births 'Referred that are Evaluated' represents the percent of children that were evaluated out of the total number of children referred to the Birth to Three System. 'Evaluated that are Eligible' represents the percent of children who were deemed eligible out of the total number of children that were evaluated. 'Eligible that Recieve IFSP' represents the percent of children whose family recieved an Individual Family Service Plan out of the total number of eligible children.

United States Baby Names Count

United States Baby Names Dataset

By Amber Thomas [source]

About this dataset

The data is based on a complete sample of records on Social Security card applications as of March 2021 and is presented in three main files: baby-names-national.csv, baby-names-state.csv, and baby-names-territories.csv. These files contain detailed information about names given to babies at the national level (50 states and District of Columbia), state level (individual states), and territory level (including American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands) respectively.

Each entry in the dataset includes several key attributes such as state_abb or territory_code representing the abbreviation or code indicating the specific state or territory where the baby was born. The sex attribute denotes the gender of each baby – either male or female – while year represents the specific birth year when each baby was born.

Another important attribute is name which indicates given name selected for each individual newborn.The count attribute provides numerical data about how many babies received a particular name within a specific state/territory, gender combination for a given year.

It's also worth noting that all names included have at least two characters in length to ensure high data quality standards.

How to use the dataset

- Understanding the Columns

The dataset consists of multiple columns with specific information about each baby name entry. Here are the key columns in this dataset:

• state_abb: The abbreviation of the state or territory where the baby was born.
• sex: The gender of the baby.
• year: The year in which the baby was born.
• name: The given name of the baby.

• count: The number of babies with a specific name born in a certain state, gender, and year.

- Exploring National Data

To analyze national trends or overall popularity across all states and years: a) Focus on baby-names-national.csv. b) Use columns like name, sex, year, and count to study trends over time.

- Analyzing State-Level Data

To examine specific states' data: a) Utilize baby-names-state.csv file. b) Filter data by desired states using state_abb column values. c) Combine analysis with other relevant attributes like gender, year, etc., for detailed insights.

- Understanding Territory Data

For insights into United States territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S Virgin Islands): a) Access informative data from baby-names-territories.csv. b) Analyze based on similar principles as state-level data but considering unique territory factors.

- Gender-Specific Analysis

You can study names' popularity specifically among males or females by filtering the data using the sex column. This will allow you to explore gender-specific naming trends and preferences.

- Identifying Regional Patterns

To identify naming patterns in specific regions: a) Analyze state-level or territory-level data. b) Look for variations in name popularity across different states or territories.

- Analyzing Name Popularity over Time

Track the popularity of specific names over time using the name, year, and count columns. This can help uncover trends, fluctuations, and changes in names' usage and popularity.

- Comparing Names and Variations

Research Ideas

• Tracking Popularity Trends: This dataset can be used to analyze the popularity of baby names over time. By examining the count of babies with a specific name born in different years, trends and shifts in naming preferences can be identified.
• Gender Analysis: The dataset includes information on the gender of each baby. It can be used to study gender patterns and differences in naming choices. For example, it would be possible to compare the frequency and popularity of certain names among males and females.
• Regional Variations: With state abbreviations provided, it is possible to explore regional variations in baby naming trends within the United States. Researchers could examine how certain names are more popular or unique to specific states or territories, highlighting cultural or geographical factors that influence naming choices

This is a source dataset for a Let's Get Healthy California indicator at https://letsgethealthy.ca.gov/. Infant Mortality is defined as the number of deaths in infants under one year of age per 1,000 live births. Infant mortality is often used as an indicator to measure the health and well-being of a community, because factors affecting the health of entire populations can also impact the mortality rate of infants. Although California’s infant mortality rate is better than the national average, there are significant disparities, with African American babies dying at more than twice the rate of other groups. Data are from the Birth Cohort Files. The infant mortality indicator computed from the birth cohort file comprises birth certificate information on all births that occur in a calendar year (denominator) plus death certificate information linked to the birth certificate for those infants who were born in that year but subsequently died within 12 months of birth (numerator). Studies of infant mortality that are based on information from death certificates alone have been found to underestimate infant death rates for infants of all race/ethnic groups and especially for certain race/ethnic groups, due to problems such as confusion about event registration requirements, incomplete data, and transfers of newborns from one facility to another for medical care. Note there is a separate data table "Infant Mortality by Race/Ethnicity" which is based on death records only, which is more timely but less accurate than the Birth Cohort File. Single year shown to provide state-level data and county totals for the most recent year. Numerator: Infants deaths (under age 1 year). Denominator: Live births occurring to California state residents. Multiple years aggregated to allow for stratification at the county level. For this indicator, race/ethnicity is based on the birth certificate information, which records the race/ethnicity of the mother. The mother can “decline to state”; this is considered to be a valid response. These responses are not displayed on the indicator visualization.

US Social Security applications are a great way to track trends in how babies born in the US are named.

Data.gov releases two datasets that are helplful for this: one at the national level and another at the state level. Note that only names with at least 5 babies born in the same year (/ state) are included in this dataset for privacy.

I've taken the raw files here and combined/normalized them into two CSV files (one for each dataset) as well as a SQLite database with two equivalently-defined tables. The code that did these transformations is available here.

This dataset includes crude birth rates and general fertility rates in the United States since 1909. The number of states in the reporting area differ historically. In 1915 (when the birth registration area was established), 10 states and the District of Columbia reported births; by 1933, 48 states and the District of Columbia were reporting births, with the last two states, Alaska and Hawaii, added to the registration area in 1959 and 1960, when these regions gained statehood. Reporting area information is detailed in references 1 and 2 below. Trend lines for 1909–1958 are based on live births adjusted for under-registration; beginning with 1959, trend lines are based on registered live births.

The dataset is an open data from the Sistema de Informação de Nascidos Vivos (SINASC), which is a system implemented by the Brazilian federal government in the 1990s, with the purpose of collecting data on all live births in the national territory. The system makes it possible to provide information on birth rates for all levels of the Brazilian health system, as well as the development of relevant indicators in the strategic planning of management to support the planning of actions, activities, public policies and programs aimed at health.

The dataset is related to three years (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022) of SINASC referring only to the state of Pernambuco, and it is composed of routine prenatal data, gestational history, sociodemographic data and data of newborns. born, including their weight.

This is a publication on maternity activity in English NHS hospitals. This report examines data relating to delivery and birth episodes in 2023-24, and the booking appointments for these deliveries. This annual publication covers the financial year ending March 2024. Data is included from both the Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) data warehouse and the Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS). HES contains records of all admissions, appointments and attendances for patients admitted to NHS hospitals in England. The HES data used in this publication are called 'delivery episodes'. The MSDS collects records of each stage of the maternity service care pathway in NHS-funded maternity services, and includes information not recorded in HES. The MSDS is a maturing, national-level dataset. In April 2019, the MSDS transitioned to a new version of the dataset. This version, MSDS v2.0, is an update that introduced a new structure and content - including clinical terminology, in order to meet current clinical practice and incorporate new requirements. It is designed to meet requirements that resulted from the National Maternity Review, which led to the publication of the Better Births report in February 2016. This is the fifth publication of data from MSDS v2.0 and data from 2019-20 onwards is not directly comparable to data from previous years. This publication shows the number of HES delivery episodes during the period, with a number of breakdowns including by method of onset of labour, delivery method and place of delivery. It also shows the number of MSDS deliveries recorded during the period, with a breakdown for the mother's smoking status at the booking appointment by age group. It also provides counts of live born term babies with breakdowns for the general condition of newborns (via Apgar scores), skin-to-skin contact and baby's first feed type - all immediately after birth. There is also data available in a separate file on breastfeeding at 6 to 8 weeks. For the first time information on 'Smoking at Time of Delivery' has been presented using annual data from the MSDS. This includes national data broken down by maternal age, ethnicity and deprivation. From 2025/2026, MSDS will become the official source of 'Smoking at Time of Delivery' information and will replace the historic 'Smoking at Time of Delivery' data which is to become retired. We are currently undergoing dual collection and reporting on a quarterly basis for 2024/25 to help users compare information from the two sources. We are working with data submitters to help reconcile any discrepancies at a local level before any close down activities begin. A link to the dual reporting in the SATOD publication series can be found in the links below. Information on how all measures are constructed can be found in the HES Metadata and MSDS Metadata files provided below. In this publication we have also included an interactive Power BI dashboard to enable users to explore key NHS Maternity Statistics measures. The purpose of this publication is to inform and support strategic and policy-led processes for the benefit of patient care. This report will also be of interest to researchers, journalists and members of the public interested in NHS hospital activity in England. Any feedback on this publication or dashboard can be provided to enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk, under the subject “NHS Maternity Statistics”.
