NSW Mothers and Babies 2006: new report of birth incidence of babies with Down syndrome

NSW Mothers and Babies reports combine the annual reports of the NSW Midwives Data Collection and the NSW Birth Defects Register

A new volume has recently been published:

Mothers and Babies 2006 (New South Wales Public Health Bulletin Supplement Volume 20 Number S-1, March 2009 )

Chapter 11 is the Births Defects report for 2006. The page numbers below refer to the .pdf document page number (print document page number):

Figure 16, p148 (146): DOWN SYNDROME: CASES BY YEAR AND PREGNANCY OUTCOME, NSW 2000–2006

Table 146, p.141 (140): BIRTH DEFECTS AMONG STILLBIRTHS AND LIVE BIRTHS BY DIAGNOSTIC CATEGORY, NSW 2000 –2006

Table 151, p 145 (143): BIRTH DEFECTS AMONG SPONTANEOUS ABORTIONS, TERMINATIONS OF PREGNANCY AND UNKNOWN OUTCOME OF PREGNANCY BY DIAGNOSTIC CATEGORY, NSW 2000–2006

Table 152, p. 146 (144): SELECTED BIRTH DEFECT CASES BY YEAR, NSW 2000–2006

Cumulative figures on births of babies with Down syndrome date back to 1990, accesible via this link: NSW birth statistics from 1990 - 2005
And no, we don't like the title "Birth Defects" either.
