CDC has asked states to rapidly ascertain and report cases of Zika\u2010linked birth defects, including microcephaly. Massachusetts added head circumference to its birth certificate (BC) in 2011.

BDMP contains information abstracted directly from infant medical records and served as the true head circumference value (i.e., gold standard) for analysis. We calculated the proportion of head circumference measurements in agreement between the BC and BDMP data. We assigned growth chart head circumference percentile categories to each BC and BDMP measurement, and calculated the sensitivity and specificity of BC\u2010based categories to predict BDMP\u2010based categories.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No difference was found in head circumference measurements between the two sources in 77.9% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091,727) of study infants.
