TLDR
The birth rate for teenagers aged 15-19 was down 6% in 2012, yet another historic low for the United States, with rates declining for younger and older teenagers and for nearly all race and Hispanic origin groups.Abstract:
Objectives-This report presents preliminary data for 2012 on births in the United States. U.S. data on births are shown by age, live-birth order, race, and Hispanic origin of mother. Data on marital status, cesarean delivery, preterm births, and low birthweight are also presented. Methods-Data in this report are based on 99.96% of 2012 births.Records for the few states with less than 100% of records received are weighted to independent control counts of all births received in state vital statistics offices in 2012. Comparisons are made with final 2011 data. Results-The preliminary number of births for the United States in 2012 was 3,952,937, essentially unchanged (not statistically significant) from 2011; the general fertility rate was 63.0 births per 1,000 women aged 15-44, down only slightly from 2011, after declining nearly 3% a year from 2007 through 2010. The number of births and fertility rate either declined or were unchanged for most race and Hispanic origin groups from 2011 to 2012; however, both the number of births and the fertility rate for Asian or Pacific Islander women rose in 2012 (7% and 4%, respectively). The birth rate for teenagers aged 15-19 was down 6% in 2012 (29.4 births per 1,000 teenagers aged 15-19), yet another historic low for the United States, with rates declining for younger and older teenagers and for nearly all race and Hispanic origin groups. The birth rate for women in their early 20s also declined in 2012, to a new record low of 83.1 births per 1,000 women. Birth rates for women in their 30s rose in 2012, as did the birth rate for women in their early 40s. The birth rate for women in their late 40s was unchanged. The nonmarital birth rate declined in 2012 (to 45.3 birth per 1,000 unmarried women aged 15-44), whereas the number of births to unmarried women rose 1% and the percentage of births to unmarried women was unchanged (at 40.7%). The cesarean delivery rate for the United States was unchanged in 2012 at 32.8%. The preterm birth rate fell for the sixth straight year in 2012 to 11.54%. The low birthweight rate also declined in 2012, to 7.99%.read more

TL;DR: The updated recommendations in this policy statement reflect new information regarding the seasonality of RSV circulation, palivizumab pharmacokinetics, the changing incidence of bronchiolitis hospitalizations, the effect of gestational age and other risk factors on RSV hospitalization rates, the mortality of children hospitalized with RSV infection, the effects of prophylaxis on wheezing, and palivZumab-resistant RSV isolates.

Outcomes for Extremely Premature Infants

TL;DR: Treating and preventing long-term deficits must be developed in the context of a “moving target” because the outcomes of extremely low birth weight infants are ever evolving and efforts to minimize injury, preserve growth, and identify interventions focused on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways are now being evaluated.

Born Too Soon: Preterm birth matters
TL;DR: Preterm birth is critical for progress on Millennium Development Goal 4 for child survival by 2015 and beyond, and gives added value to maternal health (MDG 5) investments also linking to non-communicable diseases.

TL;DR: The proposed grading classification system will require extensive evaluation to assess its utility in predicting clinical outcomes and will help to further refine the classification system to one that correlates with other clinical outcomes such as the need for surgical intervention or renal function.

Births: preliminary data for 2005.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented preliminary data for 2005 on births in the United States, showing that the crude birth rate in 2005 was 14.0 births per 1,000 total population, unchanged from 2004.
International data base.
TL;DR: The initial emphasis was on demographic and social data, since these subject areas are those for which a vast amount of data has already been compiled, analyzed and evaluated by CIR staff, however, meetings are being planned with users to determine the additional types of data that are desired, particularly in the economic and health-related areas.

TL;DR: Preliminary data for 2003 on births in the United States is presented, showing rates fell for teenagers in all race and Hispanic origin groups, in many cases marking new record lows for the Nation.

TL;DR: The bridged single-race population counts have been used to calculate birth and death rates produced by NCHS for 2000 and 2001 and to revise previously published rates for the 1990s, 2000, and 2001 as mentioned in this paper.
Births: preliminary data for 2011.
TL;DR: The birth rate, the number of births, and the percentage of births to unmarried women declined each for the third consecutive year in 2011, whereas the rate declined only for Hispanic, non-Hispanic black, and American Indian or Alaska Native women.
