Perinatal death is the death of a child under
one week of age (0 to 6 days) or a stillbirth of 28 or
more weeks of gestation.
Late fetal death refers to a stillbirth of 28 or
more weeks of gestation, excluding unknown gestational age.
Early neonatal death is the death of a child
under one week of age (0 to 6 days).
Mortality rates for late fetal deaths and early
neonatal deaths are not calculated; however, these two components are used
in the calculation of mortality rates for perinatal deaths.
Perinatal death rate is the number of perinatal
deaths during a given year per 1,000 total births (live births plus
late fetal deaths) in the same year.
