Notes:
- Official data may be incomplete.
- Parenthetical figures are estimates, some of which are
derived from reported data.
- Some miscarriage data includes only stillbirths, some data includes
known early miscarriages, thus this series is not a consistent time series.
- Abortion rates may be based on a mix of national or provincial
agency data and thus may not represent a consistent time series.
