Hospital code, therefore, is located in positions 1-7 of each record. A complete list of hospital codes is too extensive to be included in this document. Anyone desiring to identify individual hospitals should contact the SCHES for assistance. **Incorporated places of 2500 and more are coded in addition to the county code. A district code of '00' implies a rural part of the county. ***Not completely comparable with similar data in earlier years. Field 30-31 is the sum of Fields 32-33, 34-35, and 52-53 plus 1 for this event. Field 34-35 used to be "Number of previous fetal deaths" and thus excluded spontaneous/induced abortions.
