Context:
National Minimum Data Set (NMDS) Perinatal:
Multiple pregnancy increases the risk of complications during pregnancy, labour and delivery and is associated with higher risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality.
Data Set Specification (DSS) Health Care Client Identification:
While this piece of information is normally recorded for multiple births against the mother's record, if the health care client volunteers the information, it should be recorded.
