- Summary:
-
This report presents a selection of key statistics on perinatal deaths in Australia - that is, stillbirths and neonatal deaths. It provides information on characteristics including gestational age, birthweight and plurality, maternal characteristics, timing, causes, and investigations following perinatal death, as well as comparisons with overseas trends. It also looks at perinatal deaths in two special cases: Indigenous mothers and near terms singleton pregnancies, where the baby did not have a major congenital anomaly. Australia is one of the safest places in the world for a baby to be born, yet death occurring within the perinatal period is not uncommon. Every day, six babies are stillborn and two die within 28 days of birth. Although these perinatal mortality rates have remained constant since 1997, there have been improvements among some groups, including births from 23 weeks gestation, births in the third trimester, and babies born to Indigenous mothers.
