Description

Low weight live full term singleton births (under 2500g). The 3 year aggregate shown is for financial year ending 31 March and refers to the year of discharge from hospital.

Low birthweight (LBW) is a major determinant of infant mortality and morbidity. In addition, as it is associated with a variety of social and environmental factors, it is often used as a health status indicator. Low birthweight may result from being born too soon (i.e. a preterm birth), from poor intrauterine growth or from a combination of the two.

A number of factors are associated with low birthweight and/or preterm births. These include maternal smoking, maternal age (older and younger mothers are more likely to have a low birthweight baby), deprivation, previous obstetric history, low pre-pregnancy maternal weight, drug/alcohol use, hypertension and multiple births.

More information is available on the ISD website.
