INTRODUCTION 

The  thirty-eighth  annual  report,  Part  II,  of  the  PubHc  Health 
Statistics  Section,  formerly  known  as  the  Bureau  of  Vital  Statis- 
tics, presents  tabular  information  regarding  North  Carolina's 
population,  births,  deaths,  and  stillbirths.  The  majority  of  the 
tabulations  are  by  place  of  residence;  selected  tabulations,  in 
whole  or  in  part,  are  given  by  place  of  occurrence.  Communica- 
ble disease  morbidity  data  are  shown  in  Part  I  of  the  annual 
report  of  the  section  which  is  printed  separately. 

Reports  have  been  published  annually  since  1914  with  the 
exception  of  the  years  1918  and  1919. 

Certificates  of  births,  deaths,  and  stillbirths  occurring  in  1953 
that  were  filed  in  1953  and  the  first  three  months  of  1954  are 
included  in  this  report.  It  is  estimated  that  vital  events  occur- 
ring in  1953  but  reported  after  the  first  three  months  of  1954 
will  comprise  less  than  two  per  cent  of  the  total  1953  events. 
There  are  strong  indications  that  registration  in  the  state  has 
been  improving  in  recent  years.  The  certificates  are  more  com- 
plete and  accurate  and  on  the  average  have  been  filed  more 
promptly. 

Again  in  1953  a  tabulation  was  made  of  all  birth  and  death  cer- 
tificates filed  in  1953  by  year  of  occurrence  (see  1950  or  1951 
annual  report  for  explanation  of  interpretation).  This  was 
done  in  an  effort  to  determine  the  per  cent  of  certificates  filed 
in  time  to  be  included  in  an  annual  report  as  compared  with 
those  filed  too  late  to  be  included.  The  results  of  this  study  are 
shown  in  Table  8  of  this  report.  This  tabulation  was  prepared 
by  county  of  residence  in  order  to  make  available  a  correction 
factor  that  could  be  used  by  each  county  to  more  accurately 
calculate  the  natality  and  mortality  rates. 

Nat  edit  II 

In  1953  there  were  111,622  live  births  occurring  to  mothers 
who  were  residents  of  the  state.  All  births  were  allocated  to 
the  place  of  residence  of  the  mother  regardless  of  the  place  of 
birth  or  the  length  of  residence.  Births  occurring  in  hospitals, 
sanatoria,  and  all  other  institutions,  were  allocated  to  the  place 
where  the  mother  lived.     Births  occurring  on  military  bases  to 


8  Annual  Report  Ninb.een  Hundred  Fifty-three 

military  personnel  were  allocated  according  to  the  residence 
shown  on  the  certificate.  The  crude  birth  rate  was  26.4  births 
per  1,000  population.  There  were  74,038  white  births  and  37,584 
nonwhite  births.  For  the  seventh  consecutive  year,  over  100,000 
births  were  recorded. 

This  state  defines  a  stillbirth  as  a  fetus  showing  no  evidence 
of  life  after  complete  birth  if  the  twentieth  week  of  gestation 
has  been  reached.  There  were  2,231  resident  stillbirths  reported 
resulting  in  a  rate  of  20.0  stillbirths  per  1,000  live  births.  If  still- 
births were  considered  as  a  single  cause  of  death,  they  would  rank 
fourth  between  cancer  and  influenza  and  pneumonia  as  a  leading 
cause  of  death. 

Premature  Births 

In  order  to  achieve  uniformity  in  the  classification  of  prema- 
ture infants  in  need  of  special  care,  and  comparability  of  statis- 
tical data  in  hospitals  and  in  studies  of  such  infants,  the  definition 
of  the  American  Academy  of  Pediatrics  has  been  adopted ;  that 
is,  a  premature  infant  weighing  2500  grams  or  less  at  birth 
regardless  of  the  period  of  gestation. 

In  1953  there  were  9,463  resident  premature  live  births  re- 
ported among  111,622  live  births.  Birth  weight  was  reported 
on  all  but  323  certificates  filed  in  1953.  Consequently,  at  least 
8.5  per  cent  of  the  newborn  babies  weighed  less  than  5  pounds 
and  9  ounces  at  birth.  The  number  of  premature  infants  by 
birth  weight  and  age  of  mother  are  shown  below :

Mortality 

There  were  31,640  resident  deaths  recorded  in  1953.  The  crude 
death  rate  was  7.5  deaths  per  1,000  estimated  population.  Deaths 
were  allocated  to  the  place  where  the  deceased  resided  unless 
the  place  of  death  item  indicated  that  the  deceased  had  been  in 
the  place  of  death  for  one  year  or  more.  In  such  cases  they  were 
allocated  to  the  place  of  death,  unless  the  death  occurred  in  an 
institution.  If  this  was  the  case,  they  were  allocated  to  the  place 
of  residence,  regardless  of  the  length  of  stay  in  the  institution. 

Diseases  of  the  heart,  as  they  have  been  for  the  past  32  years, 
were  responsible  for  more  deaths  than  any  other  cause,  account- 
ing for  approximately  one-third  of  all  deaths  for  the  year. 

All  mortality  statistics  shown  by  cause  in  this  report  are  classi- 
fied according  to  the  Sixth  Decennial  Revision  of  the  Interna- 
tional Lists  of  Diseases  and  Causes  of  Death.  This  is  the  fifth 
year  that  this  revised  statistical  code  has  been  applied  to  the 
causes  of  death;  therefore,  some  attention  must  be  given  to  the 
effects  of  the  revision  on  certain  causes  of  death  before  com- 
parison with  previous  years  can  be  made  accurately. 

The  most  important  feature  of  this  revised  classification  pro- 
cedure is  the  emphasis  that  is  placed  on  the  underlying  cause  of 
death,  as  determined  by  the  attending  physician.  The  physician's 
statement  is  used  as  the  determining  factor  when  two  or  more 
causes  of  death  are  entered.    Approximately  75  per  cent  of  the 


10  Annual  Report  Nineteen  Hundred  Fifty-three 

death  certificates  have  two  or  more  causes  entered  in  the  med- 
ical certification  section.  For  the  decade,  1939-1948,  the  selec- 
tion of  the  cause  of  death  for  tabulation  was  made  according  to 
joint-cause  rules  which  established  priority  of  cause  based  on 
certain  factors  rather  than  on  the  physician's  opinion. 

In  Table  14,  regarding  deaths  from  selected  causes,  1916-1953, 
it  is  necessary  to  take  into  consideration  the  effect  of  the  revision 
of  the  International  List  and  of  the  joint  cause  of  death  coding 
procedure.  A  comparability  ratio  may  be  obtained  upon  request. 
This  ratio  is  calculated  from  the  approximate  change  that  has 
taken  place  due  to  coding  revisions  between  the  periods,  1949- 
1953  and  prior  years,  1939-1948.  This  ratio  was  obtained  by 
classifying  deaths  according  to  the  Fifth  Revision  of  the  Inter- 
national Code  as  well  as  by  the  Sixth  Revision  and  then  basing 
the  ratio  on  the  changes  derived. 

Hospital  Data 
All  tables  in  this  report  which  reflect  events  occurring  in  hos- 
pitals are  based  on  the  general  and  allied  hospital  definition  of 
the  North  Carolina  Medical  Care  Commission.  A  hospital  is 
defined  as  a  place  where  two  or  more  non-related  individuals 
reside  24  hours  or  more  on  the  premises  and  receive  medical  care 
over  and  above  any  domiciliary  care. 

Infant  and  Maternal  Mortality 

There  were  3,642  infant  deaths  and  112  maternal  deaths  re- 
ported. The  resultant  infant  and  maternal  deaths  per  1,000  live 
births  were  32.6  and  1.0  respectively.  The  maternal  mortality 
rate  was  the  lowest  on  record.  The  actual  number  of  maternal 
deaths  represent  a  new  low  dating  back  to  1914. 

In  1918,  there  was  an  all-time  high  rate  of  101.8  infant  deaths 
per  1,000  live  births.  The  infant  mortality  rate  was  almost  three 
times  as  high  thirty-five  years  ago  as  it  was  in  1953  while  the 
maternal  rate  was  ten  times  as  high  at  that  time. 

Rates 
All  rates  shown  in  this  report  are  crude  rates  unless  otherwise 
specified.  Such  rates  have  not  been  adjusted  for  differences  in 
the  age,  sex,  color,  rural  or  urban  distribution  of  the  population, 
or  for  under-registration  or  late  reporting.  Such  factors  should 
be  kept  in  mind  when  comparing  two  different  areas  or  time 
periods.
