Notes
Data presented here are not comparable to data for births that occurred prior to 2011. Louisiana began using the 2003 revised birth certificate in December 2010. Items related to prenatal care on the 2003 revision of the birth certificate are not comparable to the prenatal care items on the previous version of the birth certificate.
2020 and 2021 data are preliminary, and thus subject to revision.
LNE (Low Number Event) - data are not reported when there are fewer than 5 events
