Summary

The Scottish Stillbirth and Infant Death Survey (SSBIDS) collects additional information on stillbirths, neonatal deaths and late fetal deaths.

Documentation

In later years, information on certain congenital anomalies occurring in live births, stillbirths, miscarriages and terminations had also been included. In 2011, a more detailed data collection form was used and a new system for classifying the cause of death was introduced. The quality and completeness of information improved and causes of death reflected modern practice and knowledge.
