Highlights
In 2005, the pregnancy rate rose to 54.6 pregnancies per 1,000 women, up by 1.3 from the historic low observed
in 2004.
There were an estimated 447,485 pregnancies during 2005; this means that there were 9.3% fewer than
the 493,195 pregnancies in 1996, ten years earlier.
Births accounted for 76.5% of the pregnancy outcomes in 2005, up from 74.2% in 1996, while induced abortions
and fetal loss decreased respectively from 22.7% to 21.6%, and from 3.1% to 1.9%.
The decline in pregnancies was mostly concentrated in women under 30 years of age where the pregnancy rates
decreased in every age group.
The largest percentage decrease in pregnancy rates was found in teenagers. In 1996, the number of
pregnancies per 1,000 women under 20 years of age was 38.7; by 2005, this rate had fallen to 24.6. The
decline was greater for younger teen girls where the pregnancy rate for those under 15 years of age dropped
from 4.1 in 1996 to 1.9 in 2005, and from 27.3 to 15.8 over the same period for girls aged 15 to 17.
In contrast, pregnancy rates rose for women over 30, with those aged 35 to 39 reporting the greatest increase,
from 42.7 pregnancies per 1,000 women in 1996 to 51.9 in 2005. However, the largest relative increase occurred
for women 40 years of age and over, whose pregnancy rate rose by 25 per cent, from 8.8 in 1996 to 11 births
per 1,000 women in 2005.

Introduction
This product brings together statistics on live births, induced abortions and fetal loss (stillbirths and miscarriages) to
provide comprehensive statistics on outcomes of pregnancy.
Statistics on live births, induced abortions and fetal loss are available separately in various other products produced
by Statistics Canada. The purpose of this particular product, however, is to bring together all outcome statistics into
one product in order to provide total pregnancy statistics and to facilitate the analysis of each outcome within the
context of other outcomes.
The statistics are presented according to the calendar year in which the pregnancy terminated and not the year in
which conception took place. For each data year, the statistics are presented by the age group of the woman and
her province or territory of residence. Only pregnancies occurring to Canadian residents are included.
The CANSIM tables provide data back to 1974. These tables are updated annually to include the most current data
year available. The Internet publication provides data for the latest 10 years available.
Free access to the data is provided through a special CANSIM interface. The CANSIM tables can be linked directly
from three different locations in the HTML product:

Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
For 2002 and 2003, Nunavut residents are excluded due to incomplete reporting.
For 2002 and 2003, hospitalized cases of miscarriages, illegal abortion and unspecified abortions in Nunavut are excluded due to incomplete reporting.
Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
6. In 2004 and 2005, information on induced abortions performed in clinics in Manitoba was not submitted to the Therapeutic Abortion Survey.
7. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. In 2004 and 2005, information on induced abortions performed in clinics in Manitoba was not submitted to the Therapeutic Abortion Survey.
5. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

1. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
2. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
3. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
4. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.

1. For data year 1999, counts and rates for Nunavut and the Northwest Territories have been combined. Although Nunavut became a separate territory as of
April 1, 1999, not all sources of information (for example, the Hospital Morbidity Database) used in the calculation of pregnancy statistics contained enough
information to provide complete and separate data for Nunavut for the 1999 calendar year.
2. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
3. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
4. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
5. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.

1. For data year 1999, counts and rates for Nunavut and the Northwest Territories have been combined. Although Nunavut became a separate territory as of
April 1, 1999, not all sources of information (for example, the Hospital Morbidity Database) used in the calculation of pregnancy statistics contained enough
information to provide complete and separate data for Nunavut for the 1999 calendar year.
2. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
3. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
4. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
5. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.
Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology Explanatory notes for the tables" section.

Database and Therapeutic Abortion Database (CANSIM table 106-9002).

1. For data year 1999, counts and rates for Nunavut and the Northwest Territories have been combined. Although Nunavut became a separate territory as of
April 1, 1999, not all sources of information (for example, the Hospital Morbidity Database) used in the calculation of pregnancy statistics contained enough
information to provide complete and separate data for Nunavut for the 1999 calendar year.
2. Pregnancies equal the sum of live births, fetal loss and induced abortions.
3. For 2002 and 2003, Nunavut residents are excluded due to incomplete reporting.
4. For 2002 and 2003, hospitalized cases of miscarriages, illegal abortion and unspecified abortions in Nunavut are excluded due to incomplete reporting.
5. Live birth counts are based on registrations in the Birth Database.
6. Induced abortion counts are taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey that collects information on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as
well as on abortions performed on Canadian residents in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
7. Fetal loss is the sum of stillbirth registrations in the Stillbirth Database and cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified abortions reported in
the Hospital Morbidity Database.

Definitions
Pregnancies. Pregnancies equal the sum of: live births, induced abortions, and fetal loss (including stillbirths and
hospitalized cases of miscarriages, illegally induced abortion, other and unspecified abortion). Cases of abnormal
products of conception (for example, moles, missed abortions and ectopic pregnancies) are not included. Estimates
of pregnancies are based on the date of termination and not on the date of conception.
Live births. The complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the
duration of the pregnancy, which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as
beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the
umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached.
Induced abortions. Induced abortion is defined as the medical termination of pregnancy. Equivalent terms include:
artificial abortion, therapeutic abortion, voluntary termination of pregnancy, elective termination of pregnancy, and
active termination of pregnancy. The source of induced abortion data is the Therapeutic Abortion Survey which
collects data on induced abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada as well as abortions performed on
Canadian women in selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
Fetal loss. Fetal loss includes stillbirths and hospitalized cases of miscarriages, illegal abortions and unspecified
abortions.
Stillbirth (fetal death). Death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of
conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy; the death is indicated by the fact that after such separation
the fetus does not breathe or show any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the
umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles. Only fetal deaths where the product of conception has
a birth weight of 500 grams or more or the duration of pregnancy is 20 weeks or longer are registered in Canada.
In Quebec (and New Brunswick, prior to November 1996 and Saskatchewan prior to 2001), only fetal deaths
(stillbirths) weighing 500 or more grams must be reported, regardless of the gestation period. Until 1997, a
gestation period of at least 20 weeks was required in Prince Edward Island, regardless of birth weight.
In New Brunswick, if the stillborn fetus is the result of an induced abortion, it is not registered as a stillbirth; the
abortion event, however, will be reported to the Therapeutic Abortion Survey.
Hospitalized cases of miscarriages, illegal abortion and unspecified abortions. Miscarriage, also known as
spontaneous abortion, is the loss of products of conception from natural causes before the 20th week of gestation.
Only cases requiring the hospitalization of the woman can be included in the calculation of fetal loss because there
is no national data collection system or reporting requirements for miscarriages treated outside of hospital.
Illegal abortions are those hospital cases in which the most responsible diagnosis was assigned the World Health
Organizations International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code for illegally induced abortion.
Unspecified abortions are those hospital cases in which the most responsible diagnosis was assigned the ICD
code for unspecified abortion. In other words, there was no indication on the patients medical record as to whether
the abortion was an induced abortion, spontaneous abortion or an illegal abortion.

Overview Data sources and data quality

Several sources were used in the compilation of pregnancy statistics. These sources are briefly described below.
More detailed information on each of the data sources is available by referring to the surveys listed under Selected
surveys from Statistics Canada in the Related products section of this publication.

Sources of data
Counts were taken directly from the databases described below. The rates for all years and all outcomes were
calculated using the most current population estimates.
Live births and stillbirths
Counts of live births and stillbirths (one of the components of fetal loss) are taken from the Vital Statistics Birth
Database and Stillbirth Database, respectively. These databases contain virtually complete counts of all birth and
stillbirth events in Canada. This information, which is provided to Statistics Canada by the vital statistics registry
in each province and territory, is extracted from the registration documents completed by the parents and medical
attendants.
Induced abortions
Counts of induced abortions were taken from the Therapeutic Abortion Survey database which contains information
on abortions performed in hospitals and clinics in Canada, as well as abortions performed on Canadian residents in
selected American states, for data years prior to 2004.
As of the 1994/1995 data year, Statistics Canada transferred the responsibility of data collection, compilation and
processing for the Therapeutic Abortion Survey to the Canadian Institute for Health Information.
Hospitalized cases of miscarriages
Counts of hospitalized cases of miscarriages (another component of fetal loss) were taken from the Hospital Morbidity
Data Base (HMDB) which contains data on inpatient hospitalizations in Canada.
In order to maximize coverage of pregnancies not reported elsewhere, counts of hospitalizations with a most
responsible diagnosis of illegal or unspecified type of abortion were also taken from the HMDB.
As of the 1994/1995 data year, Statistics Canada transferred the responsibility for the HMDB to the Canadian Institute
for Health Information.
Source of population estimates
The population counts used to calculate the rates in this product were taken from: Statistics Canada, Estimates
of population, by age group and sex, Canada, provinces and territories, annual (CANSIM Table 051-0001). The
population counts in CANSIM are updated quarterly. For the date of the download used in this product, please refer
to the footnotes in the Pregnancy outcomes table (CANSIM Table 106-9002).

Pregnancy Outcomes 2005

Disclosure control
Before releasing annual induced abortions data to the public, Statistics Canada requests authorization from those
provinces and territories that supplied data for three or fewer hospitals or three or fewer clinics. The data from
those provinces and territories from which no authorization was received are suppressed; and if there is only one
non-authorrization, then the data from another selected province or territory are suppressed to prevent residual
disclosure.
As of 1997, cell counts of less than 5 are suppressed for induced abortion data. To prevent residual disclosure, in
addition to these cells with counts of less than 5, other selected induced abortion data cells are also suppressed.
Before 2005, the corresponding cells for births and fetal loss data were suppressed as well; but, as of 2005, only
the corresponding cells for fetal loss data are suppressed to prevent the residual disclosure of suppressed induced
abortions data.
Before 2005, to streamline the suppression process, routine suppression was performed on certain age groups
within certain provinces and territories for live births, fetal loss, and induced abortion data. Specifically, the age
groups Under 20, Under 15 and Age 40 and over were suppressed for Prince Edward Island, the Yukon Territory,
the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. After 2004, this routine suppression was no longer performed.
No other disclosure control is required for birth or fetal loss data, and no disclosure control is required on total
pregnancy data.
In 2005, all fetal loss and induced abortion data were suppressed for the Northwest Territories and Nunavut for
confidentiality.

Data quality
This section describes the methodology used in the compilation of pregnancy statistics, and highlights data quality
issues.
Total pregnancies
The number (count) of pregnancies is calculated by summing counts of live births, induced abortions, and fetal loss.
The counts of total pregnancies as well as the counts for the three outcomes of pregnancy are presented by age
group and province or territory of residence of the woman experiencing the pregnancy. Rates for total pregnancy
and the three outcomes of pregnancy are calculated using the population counts of women for the specified age
groups and province and territory of residence.
Pregnancy data are presented according to the calendar year in which the pregnancy terminated and not the year
in which conception took place. As a result, there is some under representation of teenage pregnancies because
there will be cases of women who became pregnant when they were 19 years old but whose pregnancy terminated
when they were 20 years old.
Due to the improvement in age group estimations for abortion data for the data years 1994 to 1997, the total
pregnancy counts by age group at the Canada level no longer match any previously produced statistics.
Although Nunavut became a separate territory as of April 1, 1999, not all sources of information (for example,
the Hospital Morbidity Data Base (HMDB)) contained enough information to provide complete and separate data
for the1999 calendar year for Nunavut. As a result, separate pregnancy data for Nunavut is available as of data
year 2000. Prior to 2000, data for Nunavut and the Northwest Territories are combined.

Pregnancy Outcomes 2005

Live births
Counts of live births are not estimates. They are counts of all registered live births tabulated from the vital statistics
registration system in existence in the ten provinces and three territories of Canada. Due to legal requirements,
registration of live births is considered to be virtually complete.
Induced abortions
One of the limitations of the Therapeutic Abortion Survey is that information on the age of the woman obtaining an
abortion is not always reported, especially for abortions performed in clinics. As a result, age group estimations have
to be calculated when necessary. In some cases, information on the residence of the woman is also not available,
but no estimations have been done for these cases.
Abortions performed in the United States (US) on Canadian residents
For the original statistical releases of the data years 1994 to 2001 US counts were excluded from the age distribution
and included only in the counts for unknown age group in the category unknown province of residence.
In this current product, the US counts are distributed over the age groups within the category Unknown province of
residence. (The abortion counts received from the US are aggregated by age group, but no information is supplied
on the province or territory of residence.)
As of the 2004 reference year data, reports of Canadian women obtaining induced abortions in the United States
are no longer obtained.
Revision of age group estimations for 1994 to 1997
For the 1994 to 1997 data years, a large number of abortions were reported to the Therapeutic Abortion Survey
without any information on the age of the woman. When these data were first released, age groups were estimated
at the Canada level in order to produce counts and rates by age group for Canadian residents. No estimations were
produced at the provincial or territorial level.
Age groups have now been estimated for induced abortions at the provincial and territorial level. As a result of these
new estimations, any previously released age group statistics at the Canada level will not match the latest Canada
level statistics.
As well, since induced abortion is one of the outcomes included in the calculation of total pregnancy, the counts and
rates by age group at the Canada level for total pregnancy will not match previously published statistics.
Data years 1995 to 1997 (unknown residence and unknown age group)
When data years 1995, 1996 and 1997 were originally released, age estimations were not calculated for the counts
of clinic abortions where the area of residence was unknown and the age was unknown. Age estimations have now
been calculated for these counts, using the known national age distribution for hospital abortions.
Data year 1998
Ontario reported 2,795 clinic abortions with no age group information. The known proportion of Ontario residents
who obtained an abortion in hospital was used to estimate the age group of these clinic counts.
British Columbia reported 725 clinic counts with no age group information. The known proportion of British Columbia
residents who obtained an abortion in hospital was used to estimate the age group of these clinic counts.
Estimation of teen subgroups (15 to 17 and 18 to 19)
Statistics on the number of teens in the subgroups 15 to 17 and 18 to 19 rely heavily on estimation. This is particularly
a problem for clinic abortions where only the broad age group 15 to 19 has been provided or estimated. The
calculation of teen subgroups is important for analysis purposes because the experiences of young teens (15 to 17)
tend not to be the same as for older teens (18 to 19).

Pregnancy Outcomes 2005

The teen subgroups were estimated using hospital abortion records in which the womans age in single years was
usually reported. The proportions of teens in each subgroup were calculated, and then these proportions were
applied to counts of abortions for which only the age group 15 to 19 was known (clinic abortions).
Fetal loss
Fetal loss includes stillbirths and hospitalized cases of miscarriages.
Stillbirths
Counts of stillbirths (fetal deaths) are not estimates. They are counts of all registered stillbirths tabulated from the
vital statistics registration system in existence in the ten provinces and three territories of Canada. Due to legal
requirements, registration of stillbirths is considered to be virtually complete.
Stillbirth data are compiled from the Vital Statistics registration system. As of the 1998 data year, stillbirths with a
reported underlying cause of death of Termination of pregnancy are no longer included in the calculation of fetal
loss. These cases are assumed to be reported to the Therapeutic Abortion Survey.
Miscarriages
Counts of hospitalized cases of miscarriage, as well as cases of illegal and unspecified abortion are compiled from
the Hospital Morbidity Data Base (HMDB). The vast majority of these cases (over 90%) are miscarriages.
There is a recognized significant undercount of miscarriages. Not all women who miscarry require medical attention,
and those who do are most often treated in a non-hospital setting such as a physicians office or an outpatient clinic.
Only cases requiring the hospitalization of the woman can be included in the calculation of fetal loss because there is
no national data collection system or reporting requirements for miscarriages treated outside of hospital. Estimations
in the literature on the percentage of pregnancies that end in miscarriage range from 10% to 90%, depending upon
factors such as the age of the woman and the prevailing abortion rate. In this product, during the period 2001 to 2005,
hospitalized cases of miscarriage accounted for an annual average of approximately 1.5 % of total pregnancies.
Improvements in pre-natal treatment, changes in health care services and policies, and the increase in the abortion
rate are some of the factors that can influence the count and rate of inpatient hospitalizations formiscarriage. In 1974,
stillbirths accounted for about 10% of the fetal loss counts. By 2005, stillbirths accounted for about 22% of fetal loss
counts, even though the number of stillbirths had actually dropped. The increase in the proportion of stillbirths is
due to the decrease in the number of hospitalizations for miscarriage.
The hospital counts extracted from the HMDB are organized by the province or territory of the reporting hospital
rather than by the womans province or territory of residence. Historically, the province or territory of the hospital
has been used as a proxy for the province or territory of residence of the woman. This practice does not pose a
significant problem since 94% to 100% of women hospitalized for miscarriage are hospitalized in their province of
residence.
In the HMDB, the diagnoses reported for each hospitalization are coded according to the International
Classification of Diseases (ICD), World Health Organization. The 9th revision (ICD-9) was used for the years
shown on this product. Although the 10th revision Canada (ICD-10-CA) has been used in some provinces
since 2001, not all provinces have converted to this classification. Selection of hospitalizations to be included in the
calculation of fetal loss was based on the most responsible diagnosis having one of the following codes:
ICD-9 codes: 634, Spontaneous abortion; 636, Illegally induced abortion; 637, Unspecified abortion;
ICD-10-CA codes: O03, Spontaneous abortion; O05, Other abortion.

Pregnancy Outcomes 2005

Rates
Rates are calculated by taking the number of events (total pregnancies, live births, induced abortions or fetal loss) in
a given period of time and dividing it by the female population at risk during that period of time, and then multiplying
the result by 1,000.
All Ages (total) rates
All Ages (total) rates are calculated for total pregnancies as well as for each outcome of pregnancy. The All Ages
rates are defined as the number of events per 1,000 women aged 15 to 49.
It is important to note that for the Pregnancy Outcomes product, the rate for the All Ages group for Induced Abortions
is based on the female population aged 15 to 49. Whereas, in the Induced Abortion Statistics product, the rate for
the All Ages group is based on the female population 14 to 44 in tables where there are age breakdowns. (In
Induced Abortion tables where there are no age breakdowns, the overall rate is based on the female population
aged 15 to 44.). As a result, the All Ages rate for abortion will be different, depending upon the product this
information is from.
Age-specific rates
Age-specific rates are calculated for total pregnancies as well as for each outcome of pregnancy. Age-specific rates
are the number of events per 1,000 females of the same age (or age group).
The age groups used in this publication are: Under 20, Under 15, 15 to 19 (plus the subgroups 15 to 17 and 18 to
19), 20 to 24, 25 to 29, 30 to 34, 35 to 39, and 40 years and over.
The rates for the Under 20 age group are based on the female population aged 14 to 19; the rates for the Under 15
age group are based on the female population aged 14 years; and the rates for the 40 years and over age group
are based on the female population aged 40 to 44.

Explanatory notes for the tables

Table 1
Selected pregnancy outcomes statistics, by age group and place of residence of females
Sources: Statistics Canada, Canadian Vital Statistics, Birth Database and Stillbirth Database; Canadian Institute
for Health Information, Hospital Morbidity Database and Therapeutic Abortion Database. The Statistics Canada
publication Reproductive Health: Pregnancies and Rates, Canada, 1974-1993 (catalogue no. 82-568-XPB) was
a major source of data for the years prior to 1994.
Rates for the "All Ages" group are based on the population of females aged 15 to 49 years. The numerator used
in the rate calculation is the total number of events (total pregnancies, live births, induced abortions or fetal loss)
occurring to females, regardless of their age.
Rates for the "Under 20 years" age group are based on the female population aged 14 to 19 years. Rates for
the "Under 15 years" age group are based on the female population aged 14 years. Rates for the "40 years and
over" age group are based on the female population aged 40 to 44 years.
Pregnancy rate corresponds to the number of pregnancies per 1,000 females of the same age group.
Live birth rate corresponds to the number of live births per 1,000 females of the same age group. The live birth
rate is also referred to as the fertility rate.
Fetal loss rate corresponds to the number of fetal losses (stillbirths and hospitalizations for miscarriages)
per 1,000 females of the same age group.
Induced abortion rate corresponds to the number of induced abortions per 1,000 females of the same age group.
The number of hospitalizations for miscarriages began to be included in the calculation of fetal loss for the
Northwest Territories as of 1994, and for the Yukon Territory as of 1995. Prior to these years, fetal loss for these
territories included cases of stillbirths only.
Source of population counts used in the calculation of rates: Statistics Canada, Estimates of population, by age
group and sex, Canada, provinces and territories, annual (CANSIM table 051-0001). From July 1, 1974 to 1995,
estimates are revised intercensal, final intercensal from 1996 to 2000, and final postcensal for 2001 to 2004; and
updated postcensal for 2005. The population estimates are updated quarterly. The 2005 population counts used
in the Pregnancy Outcomes table were downloaded on February 21, 2008.
