Live Birth Suppression Table

How to read this table:

The first table shows how the suppression rules are used to identify the data elements that are at the same level or at a lower level than a test value. The second table lists the meanings of the abbreviations used.

If the element in the left column is a suppressed value (-999) then all the cells containing an X that are in the same row will be suppressed. The cells containing an X are at the same level or at a lower level as the test value (the left hand data element).
