Perinatal mortality and components by geography


Table summary
This table displays the results of perinatal mortality and components by geography. The information is grouped by place of residence (appearing as row headers), perinatal deaths, late fetal deaths, early neonatal deaths and deaths, calculated using deaths, mortality rateper 1,000  total births, number and rate units of measure (appearing as column headers).

Note 1.

Perinatal death is the death of a child under one week of age (0 to 6 days) or a stillbirth of 28 or more weeks of gestation.

Note 2.

Late fetal death refers to a stillbirth of 28 or more weeks of gestation, excluding unknown gestational age.

Note 3.

Early neonatal death is the death of a child under one week of age (0 to 6 days).

Note 4.

Mortality rates for late fetal deaths and early neonatal deaths are not calculated; however, these two components are used in the calculation of mortality rates for perinatal deaths.

Note 5.

Perinatal death rate is the number of perinatal deaths during a given year per 1,000 total births (live births plus late fetal deaths) in the same year.
