Introduction

A start page for exploring reports that relate to embryological development. Many of these contain statistical analysis of country by country or world data by various government and non-government bodies. I have also included on this page legislation that relates to embryonic development.


Reports - Give a spoken or written account of something that one has observed, heard, done, or investigated.

Some Recent Findings

Australia

Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW)

Assisted reproductive technology in Australia and New Zealand 2009.

Assisted reproductive technology in Australia and New Zealand

  • Assisted reproductive technology in Australia and New Zealand 2009.[1] 9 Nov 2011
    • In 2009, there were 70,541 assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment cycles undertaken in Australian and New Zealand.
    • Of these cycles, 17.2% resulted in a live delivery (the birth of at least one liveborn baby).
    • In total, 13,114 liveborn babies were born following ART treatment in 2009.
    • The most important trend in ART treatment has been the increase of single embryo transfer, from 48.3% in 2005 to 69.7% in 2009.
    • This trend has resulted in significant reduction of multiple delivery rate from 14.1% in 2005 to 8.2% in 2009. (More? Assisted Reproductive Technology)

Australia’s mothers and babies

Australia’s mothers and babies (2009) cover
  • Australia’s mothers and babies is an annual summary of data usually released 2 years after the dataset year. The latest released report is for 2009.
  • Report Summaries - 2007[2] | 2008[3] | 2009[4]

Australia’s mothers and babies 2009 is the nineteenth annual report on pregnancy and childbirth in Australia providing national information on women who gave birth and the characteristics and outcomes of their babies.

  • 2009 - 296,791 live births and 2,341 fetal deaths
  • 2008 - 294,737 live births and 2,188 fetal deaths
  • 2007 - 292,027 live births and 2,177 fetal deaths

Other AIHW Reports

Listed below are a number of different AIHW reports that relate to reproduction and maternal health.

  • Neural tube defects in Australia: prevalence before mandatory folic acid fortification [5] 19 Dec 2011
    • This report describes the prevalence and trends of neural tube defects (NTD) in Australia during the past decade.
    • The best estimated prevalence of NTD among pregnancies is presented based on the information from states that collect near complete data on NTD.
    • Characteristics and outcomes of the births and pregnancy characteristics of mothers are presented for the period 199-2008.
    • The purpose of compiling this national report is to provide baseline prevalence of NTD, before implementation of mandatory folic acid fortification of bread flour in September 2009.
  • Maternity data in Australia: a review of sources and gaps.[6] 13 Sep 2011 This bulletin presents the results of a review of the depth and breadth of maternal data capture in Australia. Gaps in national data were identified, as well as opportunities for future improvements, A key output of the review is the Maternity Information Matrix, an electronic inventory of maternity data collections and data items.
  • Mandatory folic acid and iodine fortification in Australia and New Zealand: baseline report for monitoring[7] 11 May 2011
    • The Australia and New Zealand Food Regulation Ministerial Council (the Ministerial Council) requested that Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) consider mandatory folic acid fortification to help reduce the incidence of neural tube defects (NTDs) (serious birth defects), and mandatory iodine fortification to tackle the re-emergence of iodine deficiency in the population.
    • In response, FSANZ developed two mandatory standards, effective from October 2009, which require the addition of folic acid to bread- making flour in Australia, and iodine (via iodised salt) to bread in Australia and New Zealand.
    • This report presents baseline data for each component of the monitoring framework, and makes observations for future monitoring.
  • Nursing and midwifery labour force 2008[8] 13 Oct 2010
    • In 2008 the total number of registered and enrolled nurses estimated by the Nursing and Midwifery Labour Force Survey was 312,736, an increase of 10.6% since 2004.
    • The nursing workforce continued to age between 1997 and 2008; the proportion of nurses aged 50 years or over increased from 18.9% to 34.4%.
    • The number of full time equivalent nurses per 100,000 population increased by 15.2% between 2004 and 2008, and the profession continued to be predominantly female, with females comprising 91% of employed nurses in 2008.
  • Diabetes in pregnancy: its impact on Australian women and their babies.[9]
    • Diabetes is known to adversely affect women and their babies during pregnancy, labour and delivery.
    • These adverse effects differ by type of diabetes and between population groups.
    • This report is the first to explore these differences among Australian mothers and their babies at a national level, showing that: diabetes affects about 1 in 20 pregnancies; mothers with pre-existing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, and their babies, are at highest risk of adverse effects; mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus, and their babies, are also at increased risk; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers and their babies are more likely to experience adverse effects than non-Indigenous mothers and their babies.
  • Diabetes prevalence in Australia: detailed estimates.[10] (based on self-reports to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' 2007-08) 30 Jun 2011
    • In 2007–08, an estimated 898,800 Australians had been diagnosed with diabetes (excluding gestational diabetes) at some time in their lives.
    • 87,100 had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
    • 787,500 had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
    • 56% of those diagnosed with diabetes were male and 44% were female.
    • About 96% of people with diabetes were 35 years old or more, and 43% were aged 65 years or more.
    • The proportion of people with diabetes was similar in all states and territories, after accounting for differences in age.
    • After accounting for differences in age, the proportion of people with diabetes was similar in major cities, regional areas and remote areas.

  • Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand Including Recommended Dietary Intakes.[11] 2006 PDF
    • The Nutrient Reference Values outline the levels of intake of essential nutrients considered to be adequate to meet the known nutritional needs of practically all healthy people for prevention of deficiency states. The document can be used by health professionals to assess the likelihood of inadequate intake in individuals or groups of people.

Australian Government

Research Involving Embryos and Prohibition of Human Cloning Bill 2002

  • The Research Involving Human Embryos Act 2002 and the Prohibition of Human Cloning Act 2002 were passed by Parliament in December 2002.
  • These Acts establish a strong regulatory framework to prohibit certain unacceptable practices including human cloning, and to regulate uses of excess human embryos created though assisted reproductive technology (ART).

Definition in the Act

human embryo means a discrete entity that has arisen from either:

(a) the first mitotic division when fertilisation of a human oocyte by a human sperm is complete; or
(b) any other process that initiates organised development of a biological entity with a human nuclear genome or altered human nuclear genome that has the potential to develop up to, or beyond, the stage at which the primitive streak appears;
and has not yet reached 8 weeks of development since the first mitotic division.

CDC/National Center for Health Statistics

  • CDC Report 2005 Trends in Spina Bifida and Anencephalus in the United States[12] In the U.S.A. the Food and Drug Administration in 1996 authorized that all enriched cereal grain products be fortified with folic acid, with optional fortification beginning in March 1996 and mandatory fortification in January 1998. The data in the report shows the subsequent changes in anencephaly and spina bifida rate over that period.
  • Recent Trends in Births and Fertility Rates Through 2010[13] online report | PDF
    • The broad-based decline in births and fertility rates from 2007 through 2009 is now well-documented. An earlier NCHS Health E-Stat showed the overall birth count and fertility rate continuing to decline through the first 6 months of 2010. This report updates and extends the trend through December 2010.
    • The provisional count of births in the United States for 2010 (12-month period ending December 2010) was 4,007,000. This count was 3 percent less than the number of births in 2009 (4,131,019) and 7 percent less than the all-time high of 4,316,233 births in 2007.
    • The provisional fertility rate for 2010 was 64.7 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44. This was 3 percent less than the 2009 preliminary rate of 66.7 and 7 percent less than the 17-year high of 69.5 in 2007

NIEHS - Early Pregnancy Study

The original purpose of the Early Pregnancy Study (carried out in 1982-86) was to determine the extent of pregnancy loss that occurs before women know they are pregnant. To accomplish this, 221 healthy women who were planning to become pregnant were enrolled at the time they discontinued all methods of birth control. Study participants collected daily urine specimens and kept daily diaries of their intercourse and menstrual bleeding. Urine samples were assayed using a highly sensitive assay for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the key hormone marker of pregnancy. About 25% of pregnancies detectable by hCG did not survive to become clinically recognized, being lost in bleeding that was mistaken as menstrual bleeding.

Further hormonal assays for estrogen and progesterone metabolites in urine made it possible to estimate the day of ovulation in each cycle. Once this key benchmark of the cycle was determined, a number of basic observations about normal pregnancy and its variations have been possible. These include the first accurate descriptions of the fertile days of the menstrual cycle (i.e., the five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation), the time of implantation (six to twelve days after conception) and the incidence of vaginal bleeding in the early days of healthy pregnancies.
