Introduction

Standard Framework and Technological Evolution

This standard, part 5 of the WS/T 598 series, continues the classification logic of the 2018 edition of the health statistics indicator system, subdividing maternal and child health indicators into three categories: women's health, pregnancy and postpartum care, and child health. Compared to the 2002 edition of the "Annual Statistical Survey System for Maternal and Child Health," six new modern public health indicators have been added, including HIV/syphilis testing and newborn screening for inherited metabolic diseases.


Comparative Analysis of Core Indicators

Indicator Category Key Indicators Calculation Method Benchmark Value
Pregnancy and Neonatal Health Care Systematic Management Rate of Pregnant and Postpartum Women Number of Systematic Management Numbers/Number of Live Births×100% ≥90%
Cesarean Section Rate Number of Live Births by Cesarean Section/Number of Live Births×100% ≤35%
Neonatal Disease Screening Rate Number of people screened/number of live births×100% ≥95%

Clinical application of key indicators

Premarital medical examination rate

The time consistency of the numerator and denominator in the calculation formula is the key. In a certain city, 86,000 people underwent premarital examinations in 2021, and 92,000 marriages were registered during the same period. The actual disease detection rate was 12.3%. This indicator can be used to evaluate:

  • The proportion of people at high risk of genetic diseases
  • The effectiveness of reproductive health education

Newborn hearing screening

Using otoacoustic emission meter, please note: Those who screen positive should complete a diagnostic ABR test within 42 days. Screening data from one province shows that a false positive rate of less than 3% is considered acceptable.


Implementation Recommendations

  1. Data Collection: The maternal and child health annual report and direct reporting system need to establish a deduplication mechanism. For example, five prenatal checkups will be counted as one person.
  2. Quality Control Points: Live birth statistics must record both birth weight (≥1000g) and gestational age (≥28 weeks).
  3. Informatization Construction: It is recommended to connect to the maternal and child health information platform to achieve automatic indicator generation.
