Note:	Rates are per 1,000 live births. Adding and subtracting the number shown after the ą symbol from the rate creates a confidence interval indicating that the true rate lies between the lower and upper bounds of this interval with 95 % statistical confidence. Records with selected characteristics unknown are included in total only. Level of prenatal care is according to the Kessner Index which is a classification of prenatal care based on the month of pregnancy in which prenatal care began, the number of prenatal visits and the length of pregnancy (i.e. for shorter pregnancies, fewer prenatal visits constitute adequate care.)
