REGISTRATION
..is the legal recording with the authorized officials of the occurrence of an event together with certain identifying or descriptive characteristics of the event. is a continuous, permanent and compulsory recording of vital events and their characteristics in accordance with the legal requirements in each country.

REGISTRATION
In

the Philippines, the Civil Registry Law (RA 3753) mandates the registration in appropriate civil registry books of all facts concerning the civil status of persons from birth to death including the changes taking place therein.

Laws or regulations governing registration of births and deaths

1. Civil Registry Law (R.A. 3753) passed in Nov 1929 .. Defines-events to be registered, civil registrar, responsible persons 2. Presidential decree 651 of Jan 1975

RESPONSIBILITIES
National Statistics Office ( headed by the Civil Registrar-General) is the agency responsible in maintaining an efficient and effective civil registration system in the Philippines. Each city or municipality has a local civil registrar

Accomplishment of Forms
Municipal Form 102-Certificate of live birth Municipal Form 103- Certificate of death Municipal Form 103A- Certificate of fetal death The accomplishment of the civil registry documents requires extra care since erroneous entries cannot be corrected without proper court order.

Accomplishment of forms
Accomplish all forms in quadruplicate Type or write legibly Never sign an incompletely filled up form Data should be reckoned at the time of occurrence, not at the time of the preparation. Source of information on personal data should be supplied by the closest/next of kin.

Attendant to the registrable event

It is the responsibility of the attendant at death to certify to the medical facts pertinent to the case. In the absence of an attendant at death, the local health officer is duty bound to complete the medical certification portion of the death certificate and effect the registration of the event. He is also required to review the entries in all certificates of death in his jurisdiction.

PLACE OF REGISTRATION Rule: Place of occurrence and within 30 days of the event Circumstance - Foreigner, resident of the Phil - Foreigner, nonresident - If place cant be ascertained - Unrecovered body Place of Registration - Habitual residence - Manila - Place of burial -Last known address

Events requiring registration

Livebirth -Marriage Death -Separation/Divorce Fetal death -Adoption Livebirth: The complete expulsion from the mothers womb of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which after such separation, breathes or shows 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 off or the placenta is attached.

FERTILITY RATE
Measures the capability of the population to reproduce
Crude birth rate General fertility rate Age specific birth rate Total fertility rate Child-woman ratio Total completed family size

Fertility rate.
CBR Crude Birth Rate=Registered live birth/ Total midyear population X 1000 CBR=4.8/1000 Most common Easily computed Indicates trend

Fertility rate
GFR General Fertility Rate=
Registered livebirths Midyear population of 15-49 y.o.women X 1000 Considers population exposed to the risk. Accuracy depends on satisfactory registration and enumeration of population.

Fertility rate..
AGE SPECIFIC BIRTH RATE (ASBR)= Registered live births from women in the specified 5 yr age interval (15-19;20-24, 25-29;30-34;35-39.. etc)/ Corresponding population of women in the same age intervals x 1000 Consist of 7 rates:15-19; 20-24; 25-29; 3034; 35-39; 40-44; 45-49.

Fertility rate
Total fertility rate= the average number of babies born to WRA TFR= 3.5 Child-Woman Ratio= Number of children under 6 y.o. Population of women 15-49 y.o. x 1000 *Based on survivors of previous births *Used only when birth statistics is not available

Fertility rate

Total Completed Family Size= Mean number of children ever born to the families.

Mortality rate
This rate measures the occurrence of deaths in the community/country Types:
Crude death rate Specific death rate (ex: by cause, age, sex.. etc) Proportional mortality ratio (ex: cause, age..etc) Swaroops index Infant mortality rate Perinatal mortality rate Maternal mortality rate Fetal death rate Case fatality rate

Mortality rate
Crude death rate=Total # of deaths Total population x 1000 CDR=23.1/1000 Specific death rate, by sex= # of male (or female) deaths Total population of males (or females) x 1000 or 100,000

Mortality rate
Proportionate mortality rate (by cause) Example: = # of deaths from Tuberculosis Total # of deaths from all causes x 100 Swaroops Index= # of deaths among 50y.o.+ Total # of deaths x 100

Mortality rate
Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)= # of deaths of babies (newborn to one year old) Total live births x 1000 IMR= 29/1000 Neonatal Mortality Rate= # of deaths of babies (=/< 28 days old) Total live births x 1000

Mortality rate
Post neonatal Mortality rate= # of deaths of babies (>28 days - 1 year old) Total livebirths x 1000 Perinatal Mortality Rate= # of late fetal deaths (> 28 wks gestation) and postnatal deaths (< 1 week) Total livebirths x 1000

Mortality rate
Maternal Mortality Rate= # of deaths in women due to pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum conditions Total livebirths x 100 or 1000 Philippines: 138/100,000

Mortality rate
Case Fatality rate= # of deaths from a specific disease # of diagnosed cases of the same disease
x 100 Ex: CFR PTB= 4% 4 deaths 100 cases x100

MORBIDITY RATES
Morbidity is a measure of illness burden in a community/country. Two types: PREVALENCE RATE INCIDENCE RATE

MORBIDITY RATES
PREVALENCE RATE
Total # of existing cases (old and new cases)/ Total # of population X 100,000 ( or any multiples of 10) Answers the question: what proportion of the population is ill of this disease during the time specified? Useful for health management and administration.

Morbidity rate
Variants of Prevalence rate:
Point prevalence-is reckoned for a specific day. For example, point prevalence rate of URTI today among UPEC board reviewers. (5/43=.116x100=11.6%) Period prevalence-is reckoned for a duration of time, like one week or one month etc. For example, period prevalence of URTI (Nov. 15-Jan. 30) among UPEC board reviewers (12/43=.279x100=27.9%)

MORBIDITY RATE
Incidence rate
Total # of new cases of a specific disease/ Total # of people at risk of the same disease x 100,000 ( or any multiples of 10) Requires knowledge of onset of disease Requires data on people at risk Answers the question: what is the probability of getting sick from this disease?

MORBIDITY RATE
Variants of Incidence rate Secondary attack rate # of secondary* cases of a disease diagnosed within the incubation period/ # of persons at risk X 100 (* After an index case) Ex: Incubation period of typhoid fever is 14 days. An index case was diagnosed in a community of 100 people. On day 3, two cases; day 5-seven cases; day 8- five cases; day 11, two cases; day 14, one case; day 17, one case. SAR= (17/100= .17 x100=17%)

Morbidity rate
Person- years incidence rate In a 5- year prospective morbidity study N=1000 persons 1 yr-1000=1000 2 yr-800= 1600 3yr- 550= 1650 4yr- 300= 1200 5 yr- 220= 1100 Total= 6550 person-years 23 CASES OF DISEASE X PYIR= 23/6550

MORBIDITY RATES..
REPORTING OF NOTIFIABLE DISEASES Immediate purposes: - To secure prompt action for preventing the spread of infectious disease, ascertaining its source and inhibiting action of the infecting cause. - To disseminate news, warning the health authorities of the affected area and adjoining areas of the progress of the disease.

NOTIFIABLE DISEASES Cholera Filariasis Syphilis Plaque Gonorrhea Tetanus Smallpox Hepatitis TB Yellow fever Influenza Typhoid Accidents Leprosy Salmonella AIDS Malaria Whooping cough Bronchitis Malignant neoplasm Dengue Pneumonia Diphtheria Poliomyelitis Diseases of the Heart Schistosomiasis
