  1. aFGM status and type was determined from examining both the Midwives and ObstetriX Databases. If there was a disagreement between the two databases, the Midwives Database was deemed to be the correct record. If the type of FGM for an individual woman differed at different visits, then the most severe type was chosen as the correct type and applied to all obstetric records
  2. FGM status was grouped as:
  3. Type I/II = Unknown, Type I, Type I-II, Type II
  4. Type III = Type II/III, Type III
