| description | Background: With decreasing Infant Mortality Rate, Perinatal
Mortality is gaining importance as it takes into consideration most
of the factors influencing child birth and its survival, mortality
during this period is a better indicator of quality of Maternal and
Child Health services.
Objectives: To estimate the Prevalence of perinatal mortality and
its associated risk factors.
Methodology: Cross sectional community based study was
carried out in rural field practice area catering 26,700 population.
All births during 2010 among permanent residents of this area
were included. House to house survey was conducted to collect
details regarding Antenatal, intra-natal and post-natal history by
interviewing mother using a pre-tested questionnaire. Hospital
records were also referred when available.
Results: Nine perinatal deaths had occurred out of 314 births
in a span of one year with a perinatal, early neonatal mortality
rates of 28.93, 19.29 per 1000 live births respectively and still
birth rate of 9.55 per 100 total births. Higher Perinatal Mortality
Rate(PNMR) was observed in mothers who got married before
18 years, conceived during teenage, having anaemia, delivered
at home, normal vaginal deliveries and having suffered by intrapartal and placental complications. Male babies, babies fed with
prelacteal feeds, born out of intra-uterine complications, having
low birth weight, had delayed first cry, premature births and twin
births showed higher risk for mortality.
Conclusion: The prevalence of perinatal mortality in the present
study was 28.93 per 1000 live births. Even though this was well
below the national and state values indicating improved quality
of Maternal and Child Health care, it also gives way for relooking
into strategies for further bringing down the perinatal deaths. |
