Perinatal mortality in Taiwan has declined significantly. Key risk factors for stillbirths include drug abuse and unwanted pregnancies, while early neonatal deaths are linked to young maternal age and inadequate prenatal care.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Perinatal mortality remains a significant public health concern globally.
  • Understanding risk factors is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine trends and identify risk factors for perinatal mortality in Taiwan.
  • To investigate factors contributing to stillbirths and early neonatal deaths.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study comparing 310 women with perinatal deaths to 688 age-matched controls.
  • Detailed obstetric histories were collected and analyzed using conditional logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • A 56% decline in perinatal mortality rate over 35 years was observed.

  • Stillbirth risk increased with illegal drug use, unwanted pregnancies, Thalassemia trait, and higher BMI.
  • Early neonatal death risk was associated with maternal age ≤19, high/low parity, late first prenatal care, short birth intervals, and lower education.

    • Conclusions:

    • Significant progress in reducing perinatal mortality in Taiwan has been made.
    • New risk factors for perinatal deaths were identified, offering insights into underlying mechanisms.
    • Targeted interventions addressing identified risk factors are essential for further reduction.
