  • Title: Perinatal mortality in Southland.
    Author: Insull BJ, MacLean NE, Blanchette G.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1980 Jan 23; 91(652):40-2. PubMed ID: 6929435.
    Abstract:
    A review of Southland's perinatal mortality was undertaken from 1971 to 1977 and included 237 deaths with a post mortem rate of 90 percent. During this period, the perinatal mortality rate fell to below the national average. Prematurity remains the most important single factor. Seventy-four percent of confinements are attended solely by general practitioner obstetricians. Fetal monitoring of high risk pregnancies in labour markedly reduces the intrapartum death rate of mature babies.
