Statistics: Perinatal Mortality RateDefinitionA. Coverage:PERINATAL MORTALITY RATE1. Population base: Pregnancies of seven or more months to women age 15–49 at time ofsurvey.2. Time period: Five-year period preceding the survey.B. Numerator: Number of fetal deaths in pregnancies of seven or more months plus number ofdeaths of live-born children in the 0–6 days following birth.C. Denominator: Number of pregnancies of seven or more months that terminated in a fetal deathplus pregnancies that ended with a live birth.CalculationA. Numerator:1. Number of stillbirths—From the reproductive calendar, number of pregnancies that lastedseven or more months and terminated in a fetal death in the five years preceding the survey.2. Number of early neonatal deaths—Number of children who died at age 0–6 days after birth inthe five years preceding the survey.3. Numerator is the sum of (1) plus (2) above.B. Denominator:1. Number of stillbirths, given in numerator “A” above.2. Number of live births in the five years preceding the survey.3. Denominator is the sum of (1) plus (2) above.Perinatal Rate—Quotient of numerator divided by denominator multiplied by 1,000.Handling of Missing ValuesMissing values are not allowed for any of the variables that make up the rate. Age at death for livingchildren is imputed if unknown or missing.Notes and ConsiderationsThe perinatal mortality rate is defined by dividing the number of perinatal deaths (stillbirths and earlyneonatal deaths) by either the number of live births or by the sum of live births and stillbirths. Bothdefinitions are prevalent in the literature.Guide to DHS Statistics 96 Updated September 2006
