  • Maternal and child health epidemiology.

Context:

  • Perinatal mortality rates in Croatia have shown a substantial decline from 38.6% in 1950-54 to 10.9% in 1989.
  • Regional disparities in perinatal mortality exist within Croatia, with Zagreb and central Croatia showing lower rates than Bjelovar, Slavonia, and Dalmatia.

Purpose:

  • To analyze trends in perinatal mortality in Croatia.
  • To assess changes in maternity care practices, including cesarean section rates.
  • To evaluate the availability of medical equipment and specialist personnel in Croatian maternity hospitals.

Summary:

  • Perinatal mortality has decreased significantly, aligning with European standards, particularly after 1985.
  • Cesarean section rates have increased, with a notable percentage of hospitals performing over 10% of deliveries via C-section by 1990.
