10.17037/DATA.25
Data produced by the Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP) study to estimate national stillbirth rates (SBRs) and numbers for 195 countries. SBR data was collated through a systematic review of national routine/registration systems, nationally representative surveys, and other data sources, and subsequently modelled using restricted maximum likelihood estimation with country-level random effects. Data outputs include a list of 2207 stillbirth rate data points used as an input to the modelled estimates, yearly national-level covariates for each of the 195 countries studied from 2000 to 2015, and information on estimated stillbirth rates from 2000 to 2015 for countries with higher quality national routine time-series data for stillbirth rates, using loess regression of the country reported rates.
This codebook lists variables contained in the national_covariates, reported_loess, SBR_input and SBR_results tables.
