Excerpt
This manual documents specifications for coding and key entry of statistical items that will be tabulated from the fetal death report by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Primarily, these specifications are used by 49 registration areas of the United States (45 states, District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico and The Virgin Islands) that submit data to NCHS in electronic form through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program (VSCP). Under the terms of the VSCP contracts with NCHS, the registration area must incorporate NCHS specifications into their own procedures so that the resultant data files meet the needs of both NCHS and the registration area. Changes effective with 1999 are in bold print.
