This article describes provincial variations in women's hospital use during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period.
The data were extracted from the Person-Oriented Information Data Base, maintained by Health Statistics Division at Statistics Canada. This data base is comprised of hospital admission data submitted by general and allied hospitals to provincial and territorial governments and is considered complete for each jurisdiction. Data were not available for the Yukon Territory.
A group of 57,627 women who gave birth during October and November 1993 was identified from hospital admission records using selected ICD-9 and CCP codes. These records were then linked to other hospital admissions that occurred in the six months before and the four months after childbirth.
Approximately 15% of women who gave birth in October and November 1993 were admitted to hospital at least once during the six months before childbirth. Only 4% were re-admitted during the four months after the birth.
本文描述了各省在孕期、分娩期及产后妇女住院情况的差异。
数据取自加拿大统计局健康统计司维护的面向个人的信息数据库。该数据库由综合医院和专科医院向各省及地区政府提交的住院数据组成，每个辖区的数据都被视为完整。育空地区没有数据。
利用选定的国际疾病分类第九版（ICD - 9）和加拿大疾病分类（CCP）编码，从住院记录中识别出1993年10月和11月分娩的57,627名妇女。然后将这些记录与分娩前六个月和分娩后四个月内发生的其他住院情况相关联。
1993年10月和11月分娩的妇女中，约15%在分娩前六个月内至少住院一次。产后四个月内再次住院的仅占4%。
