Birth: Characteristics of parents (resident population)

Description

Assistance for pregnancy, childbirth and newborns has a strategic value in the health system, in consideration of the repercussions on the well-being of the entire population and this is why it becomes important to monitor its characteristics and criticalities. During 2015, 5,491 children were born in the Province of Bolzano, of which 5,166 were from mothers resident in the province (94.1%), registered through the Certificate of Childbirth Assistance (Cedap); in 2015 there was a fairly significant decrease in the number of children born both compared to 2014 (5,701 born) and compared to the average of previous years (average number in the years 2011-2014 of about 5,600 births). Almost all the births took place in the six* birth points present in the province, only 29 births took place at home. Overall, South Tyrolean data, compared with national average data, continue to provide a positive picture of both pregnancy care and neonatal outcomes. The birth rate** of 10.3 live births per 1,000 inhabitants is the highest recorded in Italy in 2015 (national average of 8.0 live births per 1,000 inhabitants). As part of the use of invasive prenatal surveys, South Tyrolean women who undergo at least one invasive prenatal survey over 35 years represent 12.6% (a value that continues to decrease over the years). This figure also shows decreases in the other Italian regions (in Emilia Romagna***, for example, from 1 woman in two, to 1 woman in five, who undergoes at least one prenatal survey). This phenomenon can be explained by the increase in recent years in the offer of non-invasive screening tests. * With the 01.04.2015 the birth point of the Hospital of San Candido has been closed. ** Source: Demographic indicators 2015 - ISTAT ***Source: Birth in Emilia Romagna – 12 Report on CEDAP data – Year 2014
