*Entry Code N indicates an infant was born alive in the reporting facility.
†Due to the unavailability of chart numbers for Prince Edward Island, birth trauma with and without the assistance of instruments cannot be differentiated; therefore, all birth trauma in P.E.I. is included in this group regardless of the use of instruments or method of delivery.
‡ Newborns whose mothers are discharged from acute care facilities in a different fiscal year cannot be linked to the mothers' records; therefore, a few birth trauma cases that belong to D04 could be misclassified to A04 as the linkage is done within a fiscal year. A fiscal year is defined based on discharged date from April 1 of the current year to March 31 of the subsequent year.
§ These codes are part of the selection criteria, except when preterm and low birth weight is also coded. See the exclusion terms in the selection criteria section above.
