Maternal Age: Region

Return to list of data

* Download Region Anomaly Group data as Excel spreadsheet  [Help]

Cases with more than one anomaly within a group are counted only once. Numbers reflect cases where that anomaly occurs in a baby of a mother who falls into that age range. The maternal age is taken as being that at the end of the pregnancy.
