Inclusion of new comparative data from the Maternity Services Dataset (MSDS)

Summary
This report presents statistics on women’s smoking status at time of delivery, at Sub Integrated Care Board (Sub-ICB), Integrated Care Board (ICB), regional and national levels. This release includes provisional data for quarter 2 of 2024-25 using data from the Smoking at Time of Delivery data collection which is submitted by commissioners (presented as SATOD v1). Alongside this and for the second time, comparative data using the Maternity Services Dataset (MSDS) is also presented using data submitted by Trusts (presented as SATOD v2) as a time series from quarter 1 of 2022-23 to quarter 2 of 2024-25. This is available for the same geographical breakdowns and includes an additional breakdown for Local Authorities. This will be repeated for subsequent quarters in 2024-25 to see how the estimates from both data sources align with a view to retiring the Smoking at Time of Delivery data collection at the end of this financial year. Until then, SATOD v1 remains the primary data source for this publication
Earlier this year, a proposal for the data source for this publication to be changed to the Maternity Services Dataset was included in a wider consultation: Health and social care statistical outputs published by DHSC (including OHID), NHSBSA, UKHSA, ONS and NHS England. A link to this is in the Related Links below. If you would still like to feedback your views on the SATOD data collection retirement and replacement with MSDS, then please contact us on: [email protected]
Key Facts
Key facts are for quarter 2, 2024-25.
For SATOD v1, 6.0% of pregnant women were known to be smokers at the time of delivery.
This is a decrease from 6.5% in the previous quarter (Q1, 2024-2025).
For SATOD v2, 5.6% of pregnant women were known to be smokers at the time of delivery.
This is a decrease from 6.3% in the previous quarter (Q1, 2024-2025).
The 2024-25 quarter 2 estimates from SATOD v1 and SATOD v2 are closely aligned.
Estimates in the quarterly time series going back to Q1 2022-23 are also closely aligned, indicating that MSDS is a good replacement as the data source for this publication.
