Pregnancy Outcomes for Medicaid and CHIP Beneficiaries ages 15 to 44

This data set includes monthly counts and rates (per 1,000 beneficiaries) of pregnancy outcomes, including (1) live births and (2) miscarriages, stillbirths, and terminations, for female Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries ages 15 to 44 (as of the first day of the month), by state. These metrics are based on data in the T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF). Some states have serious data quality issues for one or more months, making the data unusable for calculating pregnancy measures. To assess data quality, analysts adapted measures featured in the DQ Atlas. Data for a state and month are considered unusable if at least one of the following topics meets the DQ Atlas threshold for unusable: Total Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment, Procedure Codes - OT Professional, Claims Volume - OT. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Cells with a value of “DQ” indicate that data were suppressed due to unusable data. Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.
