APPENDIX 2 DATA USED FOR PERINATAL DEATHS

400 GRAMS/20 WEEKS GESTATION

The following tables contain births data used in calculating perinatal death rates. Tables A2.1, A2.2, and A2.3 are used to calculate perinatal death rates based on the 400 grams/20 weeks gestation definition for fetal deaths. This definition has been predominantly used since 1997 and will be used in future issues.
