Selected females criteria: Females included are those who gave birth for the first time and met all of the following criteria:
Excluded are those females who have given birth prior to the current pregnancy or do not meet the selected females criteria. A birth is defined as an event in which a baby comes out of the uterus after a pregnancy of at least 20 weeks gestation or weighing 400 grams or more. Induction of labour is a set of procedures (pharmacological and/or instrumental) to start the uterus contracting and begin the process of labour. Gestational age is a clinical measure of the duration of the pregnancy. For the National Perinatal Data Collection gestational age is reported as completed weeks. |

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 excluded from the denominator. For Tasmania from 2005 to 2012, presentations via caesarean births were not reported by hospital still using paper-based form. Where a caesarean section occurred the presentation was recorded as 'Not stated'. Presentations via caesarean births was included in the paper-based form from 1 January 2013. As a result, Tasmania can only be reported 2013 onwards for selected females. The year 2004 was not included in this analysis as trend for after this year could not be undertaken due to the above issue. Data for parity, a criteria to selected females, were not available from Victoria in 2009. Patient election status is available for all jurisdictions from 2006.
