Count in table is number of early deliveries (the numerator). Data Scenario: Texas County Level Birth Data The definition of gestational age was slightly changed in 2004. This resulted in an increase in premature births in 2004. A new Texas birth certificate was implemented in 2005. Thus, some 2005-2007 data is not directly comparable with previous years.
