Missing Data	Missing Data were asteriex (* )
Processing Checks	Facility records of deliveries, obstetric complications, cesareans and deaths (maternal and newborn) are often incomplete. In particular, maternal deaths due to indirect causes are not likely to be found in the maternity or gynecological wards. Furthermore, not always will the pregnancy status of a woman who dies of hepatitis, for example, be prominently displayed in a logbook or register. Complications are frequently under-recorded and therefore "Met Need for EmONC" may be underestimated; under-recording of complications (and deaths) also will impact the direct obstetric case fatality rate. Misclassification of stillbirths and very early neonatal deaths may occur because staff feels unjustifiably guilty about the death of a newborn and will therefore classify it as a stillbirth. Or staff may not want to tell a mother that her newborn was born alive and then died.
