Comments: | Data elements are from the Perinatal national minimum data set (NMDS) or have been provided as voluntary non-standardised items by the states and territories. Records with data that are missing, not stated or not interpretable have been included in the denominator. A birth is defined as the event in which a baby comes out of the uterus after a pregnancy of least 20 weeks gestational age or weighing 400 grams or more. A non-instrumental vaginal birth is one in which the baby is born through the vagina without the assistance of instruments. Patient elected accommodation status is available for all jurisdictions from 2006.

The ACHS defines a spontaneous vaginal birth as a vaginal birth, regardless of onset of labour, which is not assisted by forceps or vacuum and is not a vaginal breech delivery. |
