Percent Preterm (17-36 Completed Weeks of Gestation), 2008 to 2017

Note: Percent calculated from number of births with known obstetric estimate gestational age less than 37 weeks. The primary measure used to determine the gestational age is calculated based on the mother’s last menstrual period (LMP) and the child’s date of birth. In 2007, the obstetric estimate (OE) was added to the California birth certificate to address missing or erroneous LMP data and precludes neonatal assessments. Both rates are shown for 2008-2016 It is anticipated that routine reporting of OE on the birth certificate will improve the accuracy of gestational age estimates
