The birthweight is to be taken from the baby’s client record where available. Where the birthweight is not recorded in the baby’s client record, the mother’s record may be used as a source of birth details.

The birthweight may have been recorded during an appointment or received from sharing client data with other organisations, such as a hospital.

In the ISPHC NBEDS only aggregated data with CODE 1 are provided to the AIHW.
