Table 1.
Demographic data of the 80 perinatal deaths included in this study. The neonatal sub-group (n = 14) were delivered alive but died within the first month of life.
| Case group | N | Mean | Median | IQR | Range | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age at death (days) | Neonatal deaths | 14 | 7 | 1 | 0, 14.8 | 0–25 |
| Gestational age (weeks) | Neonatal deaths | 14 | 34 | 37 | 33, 40 | 22–40 |
| Gestational age (weeks) | Stillbirths, miscarriages and terminations* | 66 | 32 | 34 | 27, 38 | 18–41 |
| Post-mortem weight (kg) | All cases | 80 | 2.06 | 2.292 | 0.783, 3.006 | 0.258–4.73 |
| Post-mortem interval (days) | All cases | 80 | 8 | 7.5 | 5, 10 | 1–18 |
*The remainder of our cases which were not neonatal deaths were born without signs of life. Their date of death and date of birth are the same and age at death is therefore 0 days
