FOREWORD Nebraska statute requires that records of birth, death, fetal death, marriage and divorce be filed with the Vital Records Office in the Division of Public Health of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. Approximately 60,000 records of vital events occurring in Nebraska are filed annually, adding to the nearly 6 million such records already on file. Over 100,000 certified copies of these records are issued each year.

Responsibility for filing certificates of birth lies with the individual in attendance at birth, usually a physician. Funeral directors are responsible for filing certificates of death and of fetal death when burial takes place. Hospitals must file fetal death certificates when hospital disposal is performed. County clerks and District Court clerks are, respectively, responsible for filing records of marriage and divorce. The excellent cooperation of all these individuals is appreciated. Without their support, this report would not be possible.

The following individuals in the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services have contributed to the information presented in this report.

Norm Nelson, MS, Statistical Analyst Kay Pytko, Staff Assistant Meridel Funk, Program Analyst Jackie Stanford, Administrative Assistant Bryan Rettig, MS, Program Analyst Christine Noren, Staff Assistant Nila Irwin, Staff Assistant Deb Firman, Staff Assistant Joe Boone, Business Appl. Supp. Tech. Barb Trusty, Vital Statistics Clerk Cindy Stolldorf, Data Entry Operator Diana Yeager, Vital Statistics Clerk Carla Becker, Health Data Manager Beverly Kliment, Vital Statistics Clerk Jill Krause, Staff Assistant Victor Filos, Data Base Manager

Providing useful data stands as the goal of this report. Any questions or comments regarding the report, or requests for more detailed information, should be directed to:

INTRODUCTION

The information presented in this report comes from the vital records of the state of Nebraska. Records of events for Nebraska residents which occur in other states, territories and Canada, and which the Department receives through an Inter-jurisdictional Exchange Agreement, are also included. The primary period covered by this report is calendar year 2005; however, some data from previous years are also included. Records received after the following dates were not included in this report: birth records received after June 21, 2007; death records received after January 4, 2008; marriage records received after January 4, 2008; divorce records received after January 7, 2008; and fetal death records received after August 13, 2007. The number of such records is minimal and their statistical effect negligible.

The birth defect data presented in the report are taken from the Nebraska Birth Defects Registry, with the exception of the death data, which are taken from death and fetal death certificates. Information for the Registry is provided by reporting personnel in approximately 90 Nebraska hospitals.

The state and county population figures used in the calculation of rates are from 2005 Census estimates provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. City and balance of county population estimates are provided by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

Characteristics of the population, such as size and age structure, can have a great influence on vital statistics data. Only 27 counties and 16 cities in Nebraska had populations over 10,000 at the 2000 Census. Eleven counties had less than 1,000 residents. In any area with a population under 10,000, wide variations in numbers or rates of events can appear from year to year, and no single year may be truly representative of the population. Counties with a high proportion of young people will show relatively higher crude birth rates and lower crude death rates than counties with a greater number of older residents.

Information for towns having populations of 2,500 or more (in 2000) is included in this report. Information for towns with a population of 1,000 or more persons is available from the DHHS Health Statistics Section (see address and phone number on page i).

To maintain consistency with previous Vital Statistics Reports, with a few exceptions, the content for the first 147 pages of the report is the same as for previous reports. Supplemental tables have been included to reflect new data being collected. In addition, selected tables for the 20 local health districts and five DHHS Service Areas have been included in the appendix.


DEFINITIONS OF TERMS GEOGRAPHIC ALLOCATION

RESIDENCE – A person’s usual place of abode. This means, in general, the place where one lives and sleeps most of the time. However, when usual residence is a nursing home or other institution, residence is considered the place where the person lived prior to admission to the institution.

OCCURRENCE – The location in which an event takes place irrespective of the usual residence of persons involved.

BIRTHS

BIRTH WEIGHT – The first weight of the fetus or newborn obtained after birth. This weight should be measured preferably within the first hour of life before significant postnatal weight loss has occurred.

LOW BIRTH WEIGHT – A birth weight under 2500 grams or 5 pounds, 9 ounces.

VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT – A birth weight under 1500 grams or 3 pounds, 5 ounces.

LENGTH OF PREGNANCY – The duration of gestation, in completed weeks, as calculated from the first day of the last normal menses to the date of birth.

LIVE BIRTH – The complete expulsion or extraction of a product of conception from its mother, irrespective of the period of gestation which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life such as beating of a heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached, and is reportable.

LIVE BIRTH ORDER – The number of live born children including the current birth.

DEATHS

CAUSE OF DEATH – Deaths, by cause, are classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, of the World Health Organization.

FETAL DEATH – Death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction of a product of conception from its mother, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy. Until the pregnancy has reached 20 weeks duration, it is not required that such a death be reported.

INFANT DEATH – Death of a person under one year of age.

NEONATAL DEATH – Death of a person under 28 days of age. PERINATAL DEATH – Fetal deaths plus neonatal deaths. MATERNAL DEATH – Deaths attributable to delivery or the complications of pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium.

DEFINITIONS AND FORMULAS FOR RATES AND RATIOS

CRUDE BIRTH RATE = The number of live births per 1,000 population.

Number of Live Births X 1,000 Population of Area

FERTILITY RATE = The number of live births per 1,000 females 15-44 years of age.

Number of Live Births X 1,000 Female Population (ages 15-44)

UNMARRIED BIRTH RATE = The number of births to unmarried women per 1,000 live births.

Number of Births to Unmarried Women X 1,000 Number of Live Births

SEX RATIO = The number of male births for each 1,000 female births.

Number of Male Live Births X 1,000 Number of Female Live Births

CRUDE DEATH RATE = The number of deaths per 100,000 population.

Number of Deaths X 100,000 Population of Area

FETAL DEATH RATIO = The number of fetal deaths per 1,000 live births.

Number of Fetal Deaths X 1,000 Number of Live Births

INFANT DEATH RATE = The number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births.

Number of Infant Deaths X 1,000 Number of Live Births

NEONATAL DEATH RATE = The number of neonatal deaths per 1,000 live births.

Number of Neonatal Deaths X 1,000 Number of Live Births


PERINATAL DEATH RATE = The number of perinatal deaths per 1,000 live births, plus fetal deaths.

Number of Perinatal Deaths X 1,000 Number of Live Births + Number of Fetal Deaths

MATERNAL DEATH RATE = The number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.

Number of Maternal Deaths X 100,000 Number of Live Births

AGE-SPECIFIC DEATH RATE = The number of deaths in a specific age group per 100,000 population in a specific age group.

Number of Deaths in Age Group X 100,000 Population in Age Group

AGE-ADJUSTED DEATH RATE = A weighted average of a crude death rate according to a standard age distribution. An age-adjusted death rate represents what the crude death rate would be if the population for which the rate is adjusted and the standard population had the same age distribution. This procedure allows for the comparison of death rates among populations having different age distributions. The age-adjusted death rates in this report have been adjusted according to the age distribution of the United States population in 2000.

The sum of Age-Specific Death Rates for Each Standard Population

Age Group X in Each Age Group Total Standard Population

CAUSE-SPECIFIC DEATH RATE = The number of deaths from a specific cause per 100,000 population.

Number of Deaths for a Specific Cause X 100,000 Population of Area

BIRTH HIGHLIGHTS

In 2005, the number of resident live births in Nebraska decreased for the first time since 1994. A total of 26,142 live births were recorded among Nebraska women in 2005, which represents a 0.7% decline from the 2004 tally of 26,324. The 2005 number also translates into a crude birth rate of 14.9 live births per 1,000 population. Although the number of live births fell slightly in 2005, Nebraska experienced a substantial upturn in live births in the ten preceding years, which was largely the result of an increasing number of live births within the state’s Hispanic population. Comparison of 2005’s live birth data with 1995 show that live births among Hispanic women rose from 1,611 to 3,848, a 139% increase, while live births among non-Hispanic women rose from 21,600 to 22,294, a 3% increase. This trend is most likely the result of Nebraska’s expanding Hispanic population, which has tripled in size since 1990.

Among Nebraska women giving birth to their first child, the average age has continued to rise modestly since the beginning of the previous decade, from 24.2 years in 1990 to 24.6 years in 2005, after much larger increases were recorded during the 1970s and 1980s. Among Nebraska women giving birth to their second and third children, the trends are similar though not identical: in both instances, the average age rose during the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, but has changed little since the mid-1990s. In fact, the average age of Nebraska women giving birth to their second child was 27.5 years in 2005, after increasing from 27.0 years in 1990 to 27.6 years in 1995. For Nebraska women bearing a third child, the average age rose from 28.8 years in 1990 to 29.5 years in 1995, but dropped slightly to 29.3 years in 2005.

Although Nebraska women today are having children later than earlier generations, the majority of all births still occur among women in their twenties. In 2005, women 20-29 accounted for 57.1% of all Nebraska live births, compared to 32.7% for women 30-39, 8.3% for teens, and 1.9% for women 40 and older.

Nebraska’s 2005 live births included 429 sets of twins, 12 sets of triplets, and 1 set of quadruplets. Nebraska has experienced increasing numbers of multiple births in recent years. By comparison, Nebraska recorded 257 sets of twins and 6 sets of triplets in 1990, just 15 years ago.

Nebraska’s 2005 live births also included 1,821 low birth weight babies, i.e., babies that weighed less than 2500 grams (about 5 ½ pounds) at birth. This figure translates into a low birth weight rate of 69.7 per 1,000 live births, which is a decrease from the 2004 figure of 70.7. Nebraska’s annual low birth weight rate has increased steadily since declining to an all-time low of 52.8 in 1990. Long-term trends show that low weight birth rates dropped substantially in Nebraska during the 1970s and, to a lesser extent, the 1980s.

Among the low birth weight babies born to Nebraska women in 2005, 312 were of very low weight, i.e. they weighed less than 1500 grams (about 3.3 pounds) at birth. This figure translates into a very low birth weight rate of 11.9 per 1,000 live births, a decrease from the 2004 figure of 12.5. For many years, Nebraska’s annual very low birth weight rate showed no consistent trend in any direction, but between 1986 and 1996, it rose by about 50%, and has changed little since.

The Nebraska birth certificate was substantially revised in 2005, adding data that have never been gathered before and altering the way that some existing data are collected. As a result, some data may not be comparable to data collected in years prior to 2005. One such variable affected in this way is the trimester when prenatal care began. These data are now based on the actual


12

BIRTH HIGHLIGHTS (continued) calendar date when prenatal care began, which should improve their accuracy, but which has also increased the amount of missing information. Birth certificate data now show that prenatal care began during the first trimester of pregnancy for 71.3% of all 2005 Nebraska live births; this figure increases to 75.3% when births with missing data are excluded. 2005 also marks the first year that Nebraska has used the Kotelchuck Index as an indicator of the adequacy of prenatal care. This statistic combines information from the birth certificate concerning when prenatal care began and the number of prenatal visits from when prenatal care began to delivery. Using this measure, 14.1% of Nebraska's 2005 live births occurred among women who did not receive adequate prenatal care. The number and rate of births to unmarried women in Nebraska increased in 2005, continuing a long-standing trend. A total of 8,068 live births were recorded in Nebraska among unmarried women in 2005, up from the 7,954 recorded in 2004. The 2005 figure represents 30.9% of the state's total number of resident live births, and this rate has doubled in less than 20 years. Both the 2005 number and rate are the highest ever recorded in Nebraska history. Tobacco use is a well-known risk factor for a variety of adverse birth outcomes, including low birth weight, prematurity, and infant death. Tobacco use during pregnancy is another variable that was changed as part of the Nebraska birth certificate revisions that took place in 2005. It now includes tobacco use during the three months prior to pregnancy, and separates tobacco use during pregnancy by trimester. These data show that, in 2005, 20.5% of Nebraska women who gave birth to a live-born infant had smoked during the three months before their pregnancy; this figure steadily declined during pregnancy, to 14.9% for women in their first trimester, 12.7% for women in their second trimester, and 12.0% for women in their third trimester. A total of 1,216 birth defects were diagnosed among 691 children born to Nebraska women in 2005. The latter figure translates into a rate of 26.3 cases per 1,000 resident live births and stillborns. Defects of the circulatory system were the most frequently diagnosed conditions in Nebraska in 2005, accounting for 425 (35.0%) of all defects reported. Musculoskeletal conditions were the second most frequently reported defects among Nebraska children in 2005, with 217 diagnoses, followed by digestive system defects, with 134 diagnoses. Nebraska’s 2005 data also show that birth defects were reported three times more often among low birth weight (less than 2500 grams) babies than among babies of normal weight. In addition, birth defects were more likely to be diagnosed among males and children born to women 40 years of age and older.

* Calculated by using the Kotelchuck Index. The Kotelchuck Index measures adequacy of prenatal care (adequate plus, adequate, intermediate, inadequate) by using a combination of two factors: month prenatal care began; and the ratio of the actual number of prenatal care visits to the expected number of visits (based on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ prenatal care standards for uncomplicated pregnancies, adjusted for the gestational age at initiation of care and for the gestational age at delivery).

DEATH HIGHLIGHTS A total of 14,950 deaths occurred among Nebraska residents in 2005, an increase from the 14,647 deaths that occurred in 2004. The 2005 figure translates into a crude mortality rate of 8.5 deaths per 1,000 residents and an age-adjusted mortality rate of 748.0 deaths per 100,000 residents.

The average age at death among Nebraska residents in 2005 was 75.2 years, an increase from last year’s figure of 75.0 years, but still below the state’s all-time record of 75.5 years, set in 2003. By gender, the average age at death in 2005 was 78.6 years for Nebraska women, which represents a slight increase from the 2004 mark of 78.3 years, and 71.6 years for Nebraska men, which was the same figure recorded in 2004.

Nebraska's leading cause of death in 2005 was heart disease, which accounted for 3,633 resident deaths. This figure represents just under one-fourth (24.3%) of all deaths that occurred among Nebraska residents in 2005. Heart disease has been the most frequent cause of death both statewide and nationally for several decades, although its toll has declined significantly in recent years. In fact, 2005 marked the third consecutive year in which Nebraska deaths attributed to heart disease fell below 4,000.

Cancer ranked as the second leading cause of death among Nebraska residents in 2005, accounting for 3,353 deaths. This figure represents over one-fifth (22.4%) of the state’s total number of deaths for 2005. Cancer of the lung was the year’s leading cause of cancer deaths among both Nebraska men and women, accounting for 904 deaths (516 men, 388 women). Colorectal (colon and rectum) cancer was the state’s second leading cause of cancer deaths overall in 2005, with 364 deaths (184 men, 180 women). However, breast cancer was the second leading cause of cancer deaths among Nebraska women in 2005, claiming the lives of 258 women (as well as seven men). Similarly, prostate cancer was the #2 cause of cancer deaths among Nebraska men, claiming 201 lives in 2005. Taken together, these four sites accounted for slightly more than half (51.7%) of the state's cancer deaths in 2005.

Although #2 overall, cancer ranks well ahead of heart disease as the leading cause of death at younger ages. In fact, among Nebraska residents between 45 and 74 years of age, 1,572 deaths were attributed to cancer in 2005, compared to 854 for heart disease, which was the next most frequent cause of death. At age 75 and beyond, however, heart disease easily outpaced cancer as the state’s leading cause of death in 2005, by a count of 2,721 to 1,672.

After heart disease and cancer, no other single cause of death accounted for more than 10% of Nebraska’s deaths in 2005. Cerebrovascular disease (usually referred to as stroke), long the state’s third leading cause of death, held that rank again in 2005, and was responsible for 986 deaths. Chronic lung disease was Nebraska’s fourth leading cause of death in 2005, accounting for 813 deaths.

Accidents (also referred to as unintentional injuries) were Nebraska’s fifth leading cause of death in 2005, claiming 706 lives. Motor vehicle accidents were once again Nebraska’s leading cause of accidental deaths, accounting for 288 fatalities. Falls were the #2 cause of accidental deaths, with 150 resident fatalities in 2005. Twelve of the state’s accidental deaths in 2005 were farm-related. Accidents were the leading cause of death in 2005 among Nebraska residents under the age of 45 years (excluding infants under one year of age), accounting for 246 (29.6%) of 830 deaths.


55

DEATH HIGHLIGHTS (continued) Alzheimer’s Disease has now ranked among the top ten causes of death in Nebraska for over a decade, and in 2005 it was again the state’s sixth leading cause of death. The number of Nebraska deaths attributed to Alzheimer’s Disease in 2005 (473) was an all-time record, surpassing the mark of 462 recorded in 2002. Among women 75 and older, Alzheimer’s Disease ranked as the state’s fourth leading cause of death in 2005. A total of 147 infant deaths occurred among Nebraska residents in 2005, which translates into an infant mortality rate of 5.6 per 1,000 live births. This figure represents a decrease from the 2004 rate of 6.6, and nearly equals the state’s all-time lowest infant mortality rate of 5.4, which was set in 2003. The two leading causes of infant deaths in Nebraska in 2005 were birth defects and sudden infant death syndrome (also known as SIDS), which resulted in 30 infant deaths apiece. Low birth weight babies accounted for 87 (59.2%) of Nebraska's infant deaths, with 59 of these children falling into the very low birth weight (<1500 grams) category. Neonates (infants less than 28 days old) accounted for the majority of Nebraska’s 2005 infant deaths, with a count of 86, while post-neonates (infants between 28 days and one year of age) accounted for the remaining 61.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE HIGHLIGHTS

In 2005, 12,262 marriages took place in Nebraska, which is a slight decrease from the 12,484 marriages that occurred here in 2004. The Nebraska resident marriage rate in 2005 was 7.0 marriages per 1,000 population, which is one of the state’s lowest annual marriage rates on record.

During the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, Nebraska marriage data showed a strong trend toward fewer first marriages and more remarriages. In recent years, this trend has stabilized and has even reversed slightly. In 2005, 7,378 (60.2%) Nebraska marriages were the first marriage for both bride and groom, compared to the 1995 figure of 58.0%. The 2005 figure is still considerably lower than that recorded 30 years ago, in 1975, when 66.1% of the state's total number of marriages were the first for both the bride and groom.

Age at marriage continues to increase in Nebraska, although this trend has slowed down considerably in recent years. In 2005, 6.6% of all Nebraska marriages involved a teenaged bride or groom, a decrease from the 1995 figure of 9.5% but well below the 1975 figure of 33.0%. Conversely, nearly half (46.2%) of all Nebraska marriages in 2005 involved either a bride or groom who was at least 30 years of age, up from 44.1% in 1995 and 23.1% in 1975. The trend toward increasing age at marriage remains even when limited to first marriages alone. In 2005, the proportion of first marriages in Nebraska that involved a teenaged bride or groom was 10.2%, down from 46.4% in 1975, while the proportion of first marriages involving a bride or groom age 30 or older dramatically increased during the same period, from 4.0% in 1975 to 20.6% in 2005.

There were 5,830 divorces granted in Nebraska in 2005, which is a slight decrease from the 2004 count of 5,942. 2005 marks the third year in a row in which the number of divorces granted fell below 6,000, the first time that this has happened in Nebraska since 1974-1976. The 2005 figure translates into a rate of 3.3 divorces per 1,000 population, which is the state’s lowest annual divorce rate since 1974. Both the number of divorces granted and the divorce rate in Nebraska rose dramatically during the 1960s and 1970s, stabilized during the 1980s, and have declined somewhat since the early 1990s.

More divorces were granted to people in their thirties than in any other decade of life, with 43.6% of Nebraska divorces in 2005 involving at least one person 30-39 years of age. One of every four (25.0%) Nebraska divorces in 2005 terminated marriages lasting three years or less, while about half (50.7%) ended marriages lasting seven years or less. Over half (54.9%) of all divorces granted in Nebraska in 2005 ended a first marriage for both husband and wife. More than half (53.4%) of the state's 2005 divorces involved couples with children. In two-thirds (66.2%) of all divorces in which a child was involved, custody of some or all of the children was awarded to the wife.
