Collection and Usage Attributes
Stillbirth:
A fetal death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception of 20 or more completed weeks of gestation and/or of 400 grams or more birthweight; 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.

Abortion/Miscarriage/Ectopic/Hydatidiform mole:
Includes spontaneous abortion (less than 20 weeks gestation and less than 400 grams birthweight); induced abortion (termination of pregnancy before 20 weeks gestation and less than 400 grams); ectopic pregnancy; or molar pregnancy.

Note, that in the case of medical abortion or termination of pregnancy where gestation is 20 weeks or greater and/or birthweight 400g or greater, the pregnancy should be recorded as determined by the outcome (i.e. live birth or stillbirth).
Queensland Perinatal Data Collection (QPDC):
Blank if Female-previously pregnant indicator is 1 (No) or 9 (Not stated/unknown).
Must not be blank if Female-previously pregnant indicator is 2 (Yes).
The actual number of pregnancies must be recorded, even if that number is zero.

Note: This field refers to the number of pregnancies, not the number of babies born. Consequently, a pregnancy resulting in multiple births should be counted as only one pregnancy.
