Q
Perinatal death rates
A
Perinatal mortality rate
stillbirths + early neonatal deaths (within 7 days) per 1,000 births after 24 weeks gestation
around 6 per 1,000 in the UK
this usually equates to around 4 per 1,000 stillbirths and 2 per 1,000 early neonatal deaths
Maternal mortality rate = deaths in pregnancy, labour & 6 weeks afterwards / total maternities * 1000
Stillbirth rate = babies born dead after 24 weeks / total births (live + stillborn) * 1000
Neonatal death rate = babies dying between 0-28 days / total live births * 1000
