Birth outcome: Region

* 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 pregnancy that had that outcome, expressed as a percentage of all cases of that anomaly notified to us.

If a baby has more than one anomaly, it will occur in more than one row in the table. However, it will be counted only once in each hierarchical grouping of anomalies.

As a baby can occur in more than one row, the numbers of Induced Abortions cannot be taken to infer cases of termination for that anomaly, only cases where an anomaly was present in a terminated fetus.
