The neonatal mortality rate has so far been used as the most reasonable risk indicator of pregnancy outcomes in a community. This rate, however, has decreased considerably, and a new indicator is required. The proportions of pre-term infants, infants with foetal growth retardation and high-risk infants were defined on the basis of both weight and gestational age at birth. Using these as pregnancy outcome indicators, perinatal risk factors in a rural community were examined. The study results agreed with the general knowledge on perinatal risk factors. This method can be used as an alternative to the conventional method for assessing the maternal and child health in a community.
迄今为止，新生儿死亡率一直被用作衡量一个社区妊娠结局最合理的风险指标。然而，这一比率已大幅下降，因此需要一个新的指标。根据出生时的体重和孕周确定早产、胎儿生长受限婴儿和高危婴儿的比例。将这些作为妊娠结局指标，对一个农村社区的围产期危险因素进行了研究。研究结果与关于围产期危险因素的一般认识相符。这种方法可作为评估社区母婴健康的传统方法的替代方法。
