NEONATAL MORTALITY FROM CERTAIN COMPLICATIONS
OF PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH (769)
Category 769, other complications of project. Table 47 gives totals for the 15
pregnancy and childbirth, includes a group projects combined.
Prematurerupture of inembranes,that is,
of important miscellaneous conditions such
as multiple pregnancy, premature rupture rupture occurring prior to onset of labor,
of membranes, hydramnios, threatened was the underlying cause of 550 neonatal
abortion, antepartum and intrapartum deaths in all 15 projects and an associated
hemorrhage unspecified, and others. Table cause in an additional 162 (Table 47). Its
46 and Figure 49 illustrate the magnitude importance as underlying or associated
of mortality from these conditions in the cause lies mainly in its role as triggering
various projects. The neonatal death rates factor in premature delivery (spontaneous
or provoked rupture of membranes) and as
from all these conditions combined varied
between 599.3 per 100,000 live births in a very common cause of ascendent intra­
San Juan Province and 244.6 in the Bolivia uterine infection when the rupture ig pro-
