Why it matters
Comparing a week or month with the same week or month a year earlier removes ordinary seasonality: monsoon-season fever, the March reporting rush. What remains is change the calendar does not explain.
For still-birth ratio, lower is better. This movement is therefore assessed as a deterioration.
Historical context
Compared with the same month of 2017, which removes ordinary seasonality.
