Smoking Status at Time of Delivery Collection

BAAS reference: R00412

Frequency: Quarterly                            

Background to the collection

The Smoking Status at Time of Delivery (SATOD) collection covers information on the number of women smoking and not smoking at time of delivery (child birth). CCGs are mandated to submit figures each quarter for the following:

1. Number of maternities
2. Number of women known to be smokers at the time of delivery
3. Number of women known to be non-smokers at the time of delivery 
4. Number of women whose smoking status was not known at the time of delivery

Please refer to the SATOD guidance document for information on how the data is validated.

Changes for 2017-18

1. It will be possible to revise data for Q1 - Q3 as part of the Q4 submission process.
2. The calculation of the proportion of women smoking at time of delivery will change to exclude the number of maternities with an unknown smoking status from the denominator.

Further detail on these changes is available in the SATOD guidance document.

Launch and submission dates

Please note revisions to quarters 1, 2 and 3 can only be done in quarter 4. Please contact data.collections@nhs.net in quarter 4 if you want to re-submit any previous quarter's data.
