    • The first annual report was completed in May of 2005 using data from the 2003 fetal death cohort. Because of the relatively small number of cases, the second annual report (2006) examined data from 2000 through 2004. The third annual report (2007) compared the 2006 cohort with the baseline cohort (2003). The fourth annual report (2008) presents a five-year cohort analysis of fetal deaths from 2003 through 2007. The fifth annual report (2009) uses a one year cohort of fetal deaths from 2008 for most analyses.
