| Observations |
Until 2011, the number of deaths under 1 year and live births included deaths under 1 year and live births whose mothers were domiciled in Romania at the time of birth and whose births were registered at the Status Offices Civil from Romania.
Starting from 2012, only deceased persons under 1 year of age and live births whose mothers had, on the date of birth, habitual residence in Romania and whose birth was registered at the Civil Status Offices in Romania are included.
Usual residence is the place where a per-son normally spends his daily rest period, without taking into account temporary absences for recreation, holidays, visits to friends and relatives, business, medical treatment or religious pilgrimage.
The statistical data are constantly revised, according to the Revision Policy of NIS.
Thus, the data for 2020 have been modified and are of "revised".
Data prior to 2020 will not be revised.
The revised data on vital events (infant deaths and live-births) for the year T represents the absolute final data related to vital events (infant deaths and live-births) recorded in year T, to which were added vital events (infant deaths and live-births) belatedly recorded in years (T+1), (T+2) and the first four months of (T+3), but that occurred in year T.
