Estimated pregnancies are the sum of live births, induced abortions and estimated miscarriages. Estimated miscarriages are calculated by adding 20% of the live births and 10% of the induced abortions.
Births or estimated pregnancies with age of woman not stated are included in the total row only.
Rates are per 1,000 age-specific female population. Adding and subtracting the number shown after the + symbol from the rate create a confidence interval indicating that the true rate lies between the lower and upper bounds of this interval with 95% statistical confidence. |
