Abstract
|
|
|
With the current very low occurances of maternal deaths, perinatal death rates not only are a better index of the level of obstetric care, but also give a valid indication of an equally important datum, the infant morbidity.
This survey was performed at 5 hospitals in Seoul, during the years of 1975 and 1976, by the World Health Organization, prospectively.
The total number of births were 3,934, the perinatal mortality rate was 19.83 per 1,000 live and stillbirths, the stillbirthrate was 11.95, and the early neonatal death rate was 7.98 per 1,000 live births.
Age of mother, gestational age, birth weight, delivery procedure, and the grade of education of mother influenced on the perinatal mortality rate profoundly.
The percentage of live births weight less than 2,500 g at birth was 3.4%.
