    • Retrospective review of perinatal deaths.
    • Analysis of post mortem rates.
    • Correlation of mortality rates with obstetrician type and interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Perinatal mortality rate in Southland decreased below the national average.
    • Prematurity identified as the primary contributing factor.
    • High-risk pregnancies monitored with fetal monitoring showed reduced intrapartum deaths.

    Conclusions:

    • Southland achieved a below-average perinatal mortality rate during the study period.
    • Prematurity remains a critical challenge in perinatal health.
    • Fetal monitoring is effective in reducing intrapartum deaths for mature, high-risk infants.
