Evaluation of fetal and neonatal mortality at the University Hospital of Tromsø, Norway, from 1976 to 1989.

Abstract:

:To investigate developments in perinatal care, all fetal and neonatal deaths among those born after at least 24 weeks of gestation at the University Hospital of Tromsø, Norway from 1976 to 1989, were subjected to medical audit. A decrease in total mortality rate was found when based on maturity (greater than or equal to 24 weeks; 19.9-13.4%; p less than 0.01), and/or birth weight (greater than or equal to 500 g; 19.2-13.4%; p less than 0.05). This was mainly due to a decrease in fetal deaths (14.8-6.6%; p less than 0.0001). Deaths during labor (5.4-1.1%; p less than 0.001), and deaths before the onset of labour (9.4-5.5%; p less than 0.05) declined. The neonatal death rate remained virtually constant (5.2-6.8%). The incidence of conditions affecting the placenta and the umbilical cord, causing asphyxia and intra-uterine growth retardation, declined, from 9.2 to 5.0% (p less than 0.01), as did that caused by immaturity (2.8-1.3%; p less than 0.05). The rates of death caused by cerebral hemorrhage, respiratory distress syndrome, infections, and malformations did not change. There was no significant proportional change in the causes of death from the first to the last period. The rate of fetal death following suboptimal care declined (2.4-0.4%; p less than 0.01), while the corresponding neonatal death rate remained unchanged (0.9-1.1%). The proportions of both fetal and neonatal deaths occurring after suboptimal care were low (fetal: 16.2, 8.8, and 5.6%; neonatal: 17.1, 23.5, and 16.2%). These differences did not reach statistical significance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
