Children born alive and living for any time whatever, no matter how brief, after birth, should not be classed as still-births, even though reported by the attending physicians or midwives as ‘‘still-born.’’ Whenever age, in days, hours, orminutés, is reported for a ‘‘still-born’’ child, or indicated by a difference between dates of birth and death, the registrar should secure a statement that will enable the case to be classed with certainty either as a still-birth or as a death. If no additional information can be obtained the statement of age should govern, and the case be compiled as a death, not as a still-birth. Premature births (not still-born) should be included in total deaths (classified under International title No. 151). [161a in 1920 revised list.] . Peete births (still-born) should be classed under still-births, and should not be included in total eaths. Statistical definition of ‘‘ Birth”’ Birth (completion of birth) is the instant of complete separation of the entire body (not body in the restricted sense of trunk, but the entire organism, including head, trunk, and limbs) of the child from the body of the mother. The umbilical cord need not be cut nor the placenta detached in order to constitute complete birth for registration purposes. A child dead or dying a moment before the instant of birth is a still-birth, and one dying a moment, no matter how brief, after birth, was a living child, and should not be registered as a still-birth. No child that shows any evidence of life after birth should be registered.as a still-birth [A ny evidence of life shall include action of heart, breathing, movement of voluntary muscle. Adopted in 1913].
