ABSTRACT
PIP: A prospective study was conducted of the 86 perinatal deaths occurring at a woman's hospital in Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon, between January 1992 and December 1993. The objective was to determine the frequency, causes, and patient groups at greatest risk of perinatal death. The perinatal mortality rate was 12.0/1000 live births. 47.7% of the mothers were aged 20-29; 24.4% each were 15-19 and 30-39 years old, and 3.5% were 40-42. 80.2% had 1-3 live births. The gestational age was 20-28 weeks and 29-36 weeks in 30.2% of cases each, and 37-42 weeks in 39.6%. 40.7% of the infants weighed 1000-2499 g, 27.9% weighed 2500-3999, and 24.4% weighed 500-999 g. 7.0% weighed over 4000 g. Birth weights ranged from 525 to 5000 g. 34 deliveries were eutocic, 31 were dystocic, and 21 were cesarean. 48 deaths were prepartum, 17 were intrapartum, and 21 were postpartum. 52 of the mothers had fewer than five prenatal visits and 34 had more than five. The cause of death was placental insufficiency in 24 cases, fetal immaturity in 21, umbilical problems in 15, and congenital malformations in 11. It was concluded that adequate prenatal care and monitoring of labor and delivery would result in a decreased perinatal mortality rate.
