Examine the distribution, validity, and reporting characteristics of gestational intervals calculated from public vital statistics records.
Assessed public health vital registration data detailing reported last menstrual period dates and infant delivery dates.
Analyzed frequency distributions to identify digit preference, recording anomalies, and systematic variances in gestational duration.
Identified substantial variation and rounding effects in gestational interval calculations derived from routine birth registry documentation.
Demonstrated that recording inaccuracies within vital records can skew gestational age distributions, complicating classifications of term and preterm deliveries.
