Due to high (>20%) percentages of records having missing, unknown or invalid entries during a calendar year, some Measures/Indicators are not available to be reported on this OASIS Web Query tool.
| Measure | Year(s) not available |
|---|---|
| Births with Late or No Prenatal Care & Percent | 2007 – 2010 |
| Births Inadequate Kotelchuck Index & Percent | 2007 – 2010 |

Births & Percent Reported Alcohol Use
* Last year reported. As of 2008, this Measure is no longer being collected on Birth Certificates. |
2007* |
| Births with <5 Prenatal Care Visits & Percent | 2008 – 2010 |
| Measure: First Pregnancies. Due to high percentages of unknown values in the previous live births/previous termination fields in Fetal Death data, the First Pregnancies measure is slightly underreported in years 2008 and 2009. | |
|
Query results will display N/A for these measures in the years specified. |

Please note if selecting Measures by Race that there were a large number with UNKNOWN race in 2008 through 2010. For example, if selecting "Births in DeKalb County, White, 2008" please also select Unknown Race to avoid mis-interpretation.
In Births for the years 2008 and on, use caution when looking at any rates and probably numbers by Hispanic Ethnicity. For example, the General Fertility Rate of Hispanics in Macon County was 935.1 per 1,000 women in 2008. This rate is unreasonable and could be due to underreporting of Hispanics in the census population denominator, or over-reporting on birth certificates, or a combination of both.
