    Summary

    This study analyzed perinatal deaths in Iceland using a new Nordic classification. Potentially avoidable deaths were 12%, highlighting areas for improved perinatal care.

    Area of Science:

    • Perinatal mortality analysis
    • Public health surveillance
    • Obstetrics and Gynecology

    Context:

    • Perinatal deaths represent a critical indicator of maternal and child health.
    • Standardized classification systems are essential for accurate data analysis and comparison.
    • Icelandic perinatal mortality rates between 1994-1998 were analyzed.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze perinatal deaths in Iceland using a novel Nordic classification system.
    • To identify potentially avoidable causes of perinatal mortality from a health service perspective.
    • To assess the proportion of perinatal deaths preventable with current perinatal care methods.

    Summary:

    • A total of 158 perinatal deaths were recorded between 1994-1998.
    • The cumulative perinatal mortality rate was 7.3/1000 births.

  • Potentially avoidable deaths constituted 12% of cases, including growth-restricted singletons and intrapartum deaths after 28 weeks gestation.

    • Impact:

    • The Nordic classification effectively categorized avoidable and unavoidable perinatal deaths.
    • Findings provide insights for improving perinatal care and reducing mortality.
    • The classification facilitates international and temporal comparisons of perinatal death data.
