Pregnancy Outcomes for Medicaid and CHIP Beneficiaries ages 15 to 44

This data set includes monthly counts and rates (per 1,000 beneficiaries) of pregnancy outcomes, including (1) live births and (2) miscarriages, stillbirths, and terminations, for female Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries ages 15 to 44 (as of the first day of the month), by state.

These metrics are based on data in the T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF). Some states have serious data quality issues for one or more months, making the data unusable for calculating pregnancy measures. To assess data quality, analysts adapted measures featured in the DQ Atlas. Data for a state and month are considered unusable if at least one of the following topics meets the DQ Atlas threshold for unusable: Total Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment, Procedure Codes - OT Professional, Claims Volume - OT. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Cells with a value of “DQ” indicate that data were suppressed due to unusable data.

Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.

本数据集收录了按月计算的孕产结果统计数据，以及每千名受助者（Medicaid及CHIP计划受益者）的相应比率，涵盖以下内容：(1) 活产婴儿数量及比率；(2) 不全产、死产及终止妊娠的情况。数据对象为年龄在15至44岁之间（以每月第一天为基准）的女性Medicaid及CHIP计划受益者，按州别分类。这些指标基于T-MSIS分析文件（TAF）中的数据。部分州在一个月或几个月份的数据质量存在严重问题，导致无法用于计算孕产指标。为评估数据质量，分析师采用了DQ Atlas中的指标。若某州和月份的数据至少在以下方面之一未达到DQ Atlas的可接受阈值，则认为数据不可用：总Medicaid及CHIP参保人数、手术代码——职业治疗师、索赔量——职业治疗。有关数据质量评估方法的更多信息，请参阅DQ Atlas，网址为http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas。单元格中显示“DQ”的值表示由于数据不可用而进行了数据压制。部分单元格中显示“DS”的值，表示由于所包含的受益者人数少于11人而出于保密原因进行了数据压制。
