Following the successful implementation of AVSS birth-death matching, the next step will be to create an electronic birth-death cohort file. This will be similar to the existing file except it will be:
- Missing some important variables (COD).
- More timely since it is an interactive process.
- Does not contain fetal deaths.
- Provisional, especially since not all LRDs are entering infant deaths into AVSS.
- Add San Diego (from 87% to 95%), then Butte, Imperial, Marin, Santa Cruz (from 95% to 98.4%).
