Abstract
This is the first study about the perinatal mortality in North Jordan. Between 1st June 1991 and 31st May 1992, 8,146 deliveries took place at Princess Basma Teaching Hospital. There were 250 perinatal deaths comprised of 124 stillbirths and 126 early neonatal deaths. The perinatal mortality rate was 30.6 per 1,000. The factors which might have affected this rate were mainly prematurity, low birth weight, unexplained intrauterine fetal death, and congenital malformations. The possible ways of improving the results are discussed.Entities:
