The US Standard Certificates and Reports are models used by state vital statistics offices to develop documents for the collection of data about vital events. The 1989 revisions incorporate some major modifications to previous versions. Both the Standard Certificate of Live Birth and the Standard Report of Fetal Death utilize a checkbox format to elicit information on medical and other risk factors affecting the pregnancy, complications of labor and/or delivery, obstetric procedures, method of delivery, congenital anomalies, and abnormal conditions of the newborn. Revisions to the Standard Certificate of Death include modifications to the medical certification section and the addition of decedent's educational attainment. Items requesting information about Hispanic origin are added to all of these documents. The rationale behind these changes and their intended use are discussed.
美国标准证书和报告是各州生命统计办公室用于编制收集生命事件数据文件的模板。1989年的修订对以前的版本进行了一些重大修改。《出生标准证书》和《胎儿死亡标准报告》均采用复选框格式,以获取有关影响妊娠的医学和其他风险因素、分娩并发症、产科手术、分娩方式、先天性异常以及新生儿异常情况的信息。《死亡标准证书》的修订包括对医学认证部分的修改以及增加死者的教育程度。所有这些文件都增加了询问西班牙裔血统信息的项目。文中讨论了这些变化背后的基本原理及其预期用途。
