The birth and LFD statistics in 2001-2007 and 2008-2014.

	2001-2007	2008-2014	Rate ratio (95 CI)
Total birth number	147365	143466
Number of live births	147573	144043
Number of LFD	736	604
LFD	5.0	4.2	0.8 (0.2-1.9)

LFD intrapartum	1.1	0.7	0.6 (0.3-1.0)
LFD by multiple births	10.2	11.3	1.1 (0.6-1.9)
LFD by maternal age:
≤19 years	4.7	4.5	1.0 (0.3 - 2.4)
