The link Amy Tuteur provided to CDC Wonder does not provide an appropriate cohort of births to compare to the MANA data.
Our original discussion was about finding an appropriate cohort from the year 2000 of planned HOSPITAL births to compare to data on planned HOME births published in the BMJ.
The CDC Linked Birth/Infant Death dataset for 2000 does not provide neonatal mortality rates based on planned HOSPITAL births.
The link http://wonder.cdc.gov/lbd.html navigates to a page that allows us to select one of three databases: Linked Birth/Infant Death Records with ICD 10 codes for 1995-1998, for 1999-2002, and for 2003-2004. It does not allow the user to select for data from 2000 alone.
Then we can separate the data out by maternal and infant characteristics. The data is not available by place of birth. The CDC Wonder link does not provide any information about hospital birth neonatal mortality rates in 2000.
