Source: Merged IMA and MKG/RCM Data 01/10/2003 – 30/09/2004
• Unmerged stays represented only (3.9) % of the total dataset. The
proportion of unmerged files varies by province.
• Differences are negligible between merged and unmerged stay as far as
maternal characteristics are concerned.
• Globally, the differences between merged and unmerged stays were also
small as regards newborn parameters. However, 13.9 % (n=3004) of babies
with an unmerged file had been transfered from another hospital. So, most
of the babies transfers resulted in unmerged files.These 3004 babies were
significantly different from other babies with or without a merged file: 79.1%
babies were admitted in a NIC department ; 33.6% had a low birth weight;
37.5% were premature; 8.7% were issued from twin pregnancies; 3.5 died
during the in-patient stay.
