    Perinatal deaths were analyzed over four years. Serious malformations or low birth weight (<800g) were primary causes, with significant antepartum, intrapartum, and neonatal mortality in normal-weight infants.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Neonatal Research

    Background:

    • Perinatal mortality remains a critical indicator of obstetric and neonatal care quality.
    • Understanding the causes and circumstances of perinatal deaths is essential for improving outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the causes and clinical features associated with perinatal deaths.
    • To identify risk factors and patterns in perinatal mortality within a defined population.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 213 perinatal deaths over a 4-year period from 10,539 deliveries.
    • Classification of deaths based on fetal malformations, birth weight, and timing (antepartum, intrapartum, neonatal).

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • A total of 213 perinatal deaths were recorded.
    • Major causes included serious fetal malformations and low birth weight (<800g).
    • In infants weighing >=800g, 54 deaths were antepartum, 5 intrapartum, and 51 neonatal.

    Conclusions:

    • Perinatal mortality is significantly influenced by fetal malformations and severe prematurity.
    • Further investigation into clinical features surrounding deaths in normal-weight infants is warranted.
    • Targeted interventions may reduce antepartum, intrapartum, and neonatal mortality.
