Description

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCAREAMNIO_ALL indicates whether amniocentesis (also known as an "amniotic fluid test") was performed at least once during antenatal care.

ANCAREAMNIO_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREAMNIO_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREAMNIO_02, ANCAREAMNIO_03, ANCAREAMNIO_04, ANCAREAMNIO_05, and ANCAREAMNIO_06). For most surveys, this information on the performance of amniocentesis was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
