[The characteristics of the perinatal period in women whose death is related to pregnancy, labor and puerperal pathologies].

Mortality rate of the hospitalized for delivery women depends on their condition before entrance into hospital. This indicator is also related to the possibilities of Ob./Gyn. clinics to provide highly qualified assistance as well as to the prophylactics, dispensary and partronage work and activity of the women's consultation cabinets. Table N1 is of interest as it presents the prevention of death/complication that caused death/of dead pregnant women, women in delivery and young mothers. We accept that unpreventation of death is owed mainly to some medical and biological causes and to the advent of severe irreversible damages of organs of vital importance. An issue of interest to the clinician and to the maternal health care are the periods, in which pregnant women and young mothers--before delivery, during delivery, after delivery and in the first month after month after delivery most frequently die (tab. N 2).
