Comments: | Analgesia use may influence the duration of labour, may affect the health status of the baby at birth and is an indicator of obstetric intervention. Analgesia may also influence a female's satisfaction with her birth experience and is an indicator of access to anaesthesia services, i.e. epidural analgesia is not available for females in birth events where there are no anaesthetic services. |

Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Perinatal NMDS 2022–23 Health!, Standard 17/12/2021 Implementation start date: 01/07/2022 Implementation end date: 30/06/2023 Conditional obligation: This data element is only to be recorded if the response to the Birth event—labour onset type, code N data element is Code 1 (Spontaneous) or Code 2 (Induced) and the Birth event—analgesia administered indicator, yes/no/not stated/inadequately described code N data element is Code 1 (Yes). DSS specific information: This data element is to be recorded for first and second stage labour, but not for third stage labour, e.g. removal of placenta. This is a multiple response data element and is therefore operationalised for data collection across 6 individual data items (one data item per permissible value, excluding Code 99 (Not stated/inadequately described)). |
