Instruction Manual, Part 10: Classification and Coding Instructions for Induced Termination of Pregnancy Records, 1991

摘要

The manual provides the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program (VSCP) data preparation specifications to be used by all registration areas that meet the VSCP standards (23 States and New York City) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) in preparing vital statistics data for Induced Termination of Pregnancy (ITOP) events occurring in 1991. Only the minimum basic data set items (MBDS) are included and the item code structures provide the minimum level of detail acceptable for the VSCP. The item code structures may vary by registration area so long as the minimum level of detail can be derived for publication of national statistical data.
