* The percentage of birthweights not covered in the data source reflect newborns who were unweighed and those who were weighed but whose birthweights were not captured by key data sources. Estimates from household surveys include
births where weight was not available from an official document (e.g. health card) or could not be recalled by the respondent at the time of interview. Estimates from administrative systems (e.g. Health Management Information Systems)
include unweighed births and weighed births not recorded in the system. Estimates from administrative sources were derived by subtracting 100% from (the number of live births reported in the source divided by the number of annual live
births in the United Nations Population Division World Population Prospects, 2017 edition for the same year). Estimates from household surveys represent the percentage of live births among women age 15–49 years in the survey reference
period without a birthweight in the dataset.

1. The survey/publication year refers to the: (i) for surveys, the year the field work was implemented; and (ii) for administrative sources, the year the data were reported for.
