Appendix G_G13: Perinatal Statistics Report 2016: Cause of Death: Total Perinatal Deaths, 2016

Presents the distribution of TOTAL PERINATAL DEATHS for 2016 by main Cause of Death. This table outlines numbers and per cent by stillbirths, early neonatal deaths and total perinatal deaths. The Perinatal Statistics Report 2016 is a report on national data on Perinatal events in 2016. Information on every birth in the Republic of Ireland is submitted to the National Perinatal Reporting System (NPRS). All births are notified and registered on a standard four part birth notification form (BNF01) which is completed where the birth takes place. Part 3 of this form is sent to the HPO for data entry and validation. The information collected includes data on pregnancy outcomes (with particular reference to perinatal mortality and important aspects of perinatal care), as well as descriptive social and biological characteristics of mothers giving birth.
