Aims and objectives; To analyse the prevalence and perinatal mortality in cord prolapse. Study design: All cases of cord prolapse managed in gynae unit 3 at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital were identified. Period: From 20 March 2004 to 20 March 2005. Results: 23 patients of cord prolapse and presentation were identified During this time 5408 births took place giving a prevalence of I in 235 total births which comes upto 0.42%. There were 6 cases of cord presentation (0.11%) and 17 cases of cord prolapse (0.31%).19 cases were born alive(82.6%). There were 4 still births giving a still birth rate of 17.4% or 174/1000 births with cord prolapse and presentation. One neonatal death occurred among 19 live born babies giving a rate of 5.21% or 52.1/1000 live births . The uncorrected perinatal mortality was 217/1000 births or 21.7% with cord prolapse and presentation. Conclusion: : Cord prolapse and presentation occur with prevalence of 0.43% The perinatal mortality rate in this series was 21.7% of births with cord prolapse and presentation.

Abstract: Perinatal death is a big problem especially in a developing country. Some of the hospitals in Indonesia have declared that the number of perinatal death in developing countries is higher than in  developed countries. The purpose of this research is to determine the incidence of the factors that affecting perinatal mortality at Prof. DR. R. D. Kandou General Hospital Manado. This research used retrospective descriptive method through medical records of perinatal deaths patients. There were 164 cases of perinatal deaths found where 109 cases still births and 55 cases were early neonatal deaths in 2011, so the number of perinatal mortality rate was 40.17 per mil. The highest number of perinatal death was from multigravide mother, mother with age  ≥ 35 years old, spontaneous parturition. There were unknown caused of still births cases (77,06%) and sepsis in early neonatal deaths. The normal birth weight is also with most include of perinatal deaths. Keywords: still birth, early neonatal death, perinatal deaths, perinatal mortality rate.     Abstrak: Kematian perinatal merupakan masalah besar khususnya di negara sedang berkembang. Beberapa rumah sakit pendidikan di Indonesia melaporkan angka kematian perinatal yang tinggi dibandingkan dengan laporan angka kematian perinatal di negara – negara maju yang jumlahnya rendah. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui angka kejadian kematian perinatal serta faktor – faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif retrospektif dengan menggunakan data catatan medik pasien. Hasil penelitian yaitu jumlah kematian perinatal pada tahun 2011 sebanyak 164 kasus dengan 109 kasus lahir mati dan 55 kasus kematian neonatal dini sehingga angka kematian perinatal pada tahun 2011 yaitu 40.17 per mil. Kematian perinatal paling banyak pada ibu multigravida, ibu dengan kelompok usia ≥ 35 tahun, menggunakan jenis persalinan spontan. Pada lahir mati 77.06 % penyebab kematiannya tidak diketahui sedangkan sepsis paling banyak menyebabkan kematian neonatal dini. Berat badan lahir normal juga menjadi salah satu faktor terjadinya kematian perinatal. Kata kunci: lahir mati, kematian neonatal dini, kematian perinatal, angka kematian perinatal.

Introduction:  Perinatal mortality rate is sensitive indicator of quality of obstetric and pediatric health services. It also helps us to evaluate efficiency of health care provided by a particular hospital. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cause of perinatal death in a tertiary care medical centre, which may help to reduce the incidence of perinatal death and improve the quality of care. Methods: The two-year retrospective study of perinatal deaths was done at Karnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS), Jumla from March 2017 to April 2019. Data was collected from monthly perinatal audit and annual mortality reviews. Registers in the maternity ward, sick Neonate Care Unit, and files of dead newborns kept in the record section of the hospital were studied and reviewed. Results: A total of 1354 deliveries were conducted in the 24 months period at KAHS with perinatal mortality rate of 36.08 per 1000 total birth and early neonatal death rate of 12.8 per 1000 live birth. The Perinatal mortality was higher in low birth weight and premature baby. The cause of stillbirth and early Neonatal death were identified. Most of the early neonatal death was due to Prematurity (41.17%) followed by Birth Asphyxia and Neonatal Sepsis. Conclusion: Prematurity and its related complication were the most common cause of early neonatal death followed by birth Asphyxia and Neonatal Sepsis. There is need to improve antenatal, early identification of high-risk pregnancy as well as Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to further reduce deaths due to prematurity and birth asphyxia.

During the first 12 years of operation the perinatal mortality rate in Paisley Maternity Hospital fell steadily from 27 per 1,000 in 1970 to 10 per 1,000 in 1981. During this period the nulliparous birth rate remained constant, but the parous birth rate fell. Improved survival of premature babies, falling numbers of babies with neural tube defects and reduction in intrapartum asphyxia are identified as responsible for this fall. Unexplained intra-uterine death remains an unsolved problem.

Background: Perinatal and neonatal mortality rates have been described as sensitive indices of the quality of health care services. Regular audits of perinatal and neonatal mortalities are desirable to evaluate the various global interventions.Objective: To describe the current pattern of perinatal and neonatal mortality in a Nigerian tertiary health facility.Methods: Using a prospective audit method, the socio-demographic parameters of all perinatal and neonatal deaths recorded in a Nigerian tertiary facility between February 2017 and January 2018 were studied.Results: There were 1,019 deliveries with stillbirth rate of 27.5/1000 total births and early neonatal death (END) rate among in-born babies of 27.2/1000 live births. The overall perinatal mortality rate for in-facility deliveries was 53.9/1000 total births and neonatal mortality (till the end of 28 days) rate of 27.2/1000 live births. Severe perinatal asphyxia and prematurity were the leading causes of neonatal deaths while obstructed labour and intra-partum eclampsia were the two leading maternal conditions related to stillbirths (25.0% and 21.4% respectively).Gestational age < 32 weeks, age < 24 hours and inborn status were significantly associated with END (p = 0.002, p <0.001 and p = 0.002 respectively).Conclusion: The in-facility perinatal mortality rate was high though stillbirth rate was relatively low. There is a need to improve the quality of emergency obstetric and neonatal services prior to referral to tertiary facilities.Keywords: Asphyxia, neonatal death, obstructed labour, perinatal death, stillbirth.

Background: The greatest risks to life are in its very beginning. Although a good start in life begins well before birth, it is just before, during, and in the very first hours and days after birth that life is most at risk. This prospective case control study was designed on maternal risk factors for perinatal mortality.Methods: This was a case control study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Department of Paediatrics, Medical College Trivandrum for one year period in 2004-2005. The cases were all the fresh and macerated still births and early neonatal death cases during the study period. The controls were chosen as the next delivery entry in the OR register.Results: During this period, the total number of deliveries was 14,796 and there were 431 perinatal deaths. The perinatal mortality rate was 29.12. This was much higher compared to Kerala’s perinatal mortality rate of 10, the reason being that the study is conducted in a tertiary referral hospital with one of the best new born care nurseries and a large number of referrals. The most significant risk factors for perinatal mortality were low socio-economic status, referrals, late registration, prematurity, low birth weight, intra-uterine growth restriction, maternal diseases like gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes and intrapartum complications like abruption.Conclusions: Perinatal mortality rate serves as the most sensitive index of maternal and neonatal care. Good antenatal care and prevention of preterm birth may play a key role in further reduction of PMR.

This is an ecological and time-series study using secondary data on perinatal mortality and its components from 2008 to 2017 in Espírito Santo, Brazil. The data were collected from the Mortality Information System (SIM) and Live Births Information System (SINASC) of the Unified Health System Informatics Department (DATASUS) in June 2019. The perinatal mortality rate (×1000 total births) was calculated. Time series were constructed from the perinatal mortality rate for the regions and Espírito Santo. To analyze the trend, the Prais–Winsten model was used. From 2008 to 2017 there were 8132 perinatal deaths (4939 fetal and 3193 early neonatal) out of a total of 542,802 births, a perinatal mortality rate of 15.0/1000 total births. The fetal/early neonatal ratio was 1.5:1, with a strong positive correlation early neonatal mortality rate, perinatal mortality rate, r (9) = 0.8893, with a significance level of p = 0.000574. The presence of differences in trends by health region was observed. Risk factors that stood out were as follows: mother’s age ranging between 10 and 19 or 40 and 49 years old, with no education, a gestational age between 22 and 36 weeks, triple and double pregnancy, and a birth weight below 2499 g. Among the causes of death, 49.70% of deaths were concentrated in category of the tenth edition of the International Classification of Diseases, fetuses and newborns affected by maternal factors and complications of pregnancy, labor, and delivery (P00–P04), and 11.03% were in the category of intrauterine hypoxia and birth asphyxia (P20–P21), both related to proper care during pregnancy and childbirth. We observed a slow reduction in the perinatal mortality rate in the state of Espírito Santo from 2008 to 2017.

Abstract Background: The imbalance of child health services caused by the huge income gap between urban and rural residents and uncoordinated regional development has become increasingly prominent. This article analyzes the basic situation and equity of child care services in China from 2010 to 2019.Methods: Evaluate the equity of child health services by concentration index.Results: From 2010 to 2019, neonatal visit rate and system management rate of under-three children in Chinese child health service projects showed an upward trend, and the perinatal mortality rate decreased. The perinatal mortality rate is the highest in the western region, and the level of child health services in the central region is lower than the national average, but the gap between regions has gradually decreased. Child health services concentrate in provinces with high economic levels, and the perinatal mortality rate is the most unfair. Conclusion: The decline in the mortality rate of under-five children is related to the improvement in the child health services. We should improve the health services of perinatal infants and pay attention to the health of children aged 1 to 4 years. The fairness of child health service is affected by the two-child policy. We should rationally allocate resources and strengthen support for the central and western regions.

Background: Perinatal mortality rate indicates quality of care provided during pregnancy and delivery to the mother and to the neonate in its early neonatal period. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and causes of perinatal mortality in a tertiary care hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Gynaecology & Obstetrics, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan from 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2016. The inclusion criteria was all singleton gestation with gestational age of at least 24 weeks presenting with perinatal mortality. Data was collected for the following variables; age groups (up to 20 years, 21-30 years, 31-40 years and > 40 years), booking status (yes/ no), period of gestation (24-31+6, 32-36+6, 37-39+6 and > 40 weeks), Foetal weight ( 3.5 kg) and cause of perinatal mortality. Results: Out of 4508 deliveries there were 288 perinatal deaths, including 228 stillbirths and 60 neonatal deaths, so perinatal mortality rate was 63.8/1000 births. 90.28% women were unbooked. Most common cause was hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (27.78%) followed by antepartum haemorrhage (25.71%) and then mechanical causes (13.88%). Congenital anomalies comprised 11.8% cases, neonatal problems 10.07% and maternal medical disorders for 4.16% cases. Cause of 4.16% cases remained unexplained. Conclusion: Appropriate strategies like control of identifiable causes, proper antenatal and postnatal care, healthy delivery practices and availability of emergency neonatal care facilities can bring down perinatal mortality rates.
