Results from the Euro-Peristat project in 2000 and 2004 showed the Netherlands to have higher perinatal mortality rates and a slower rate of decline than in other European countries. Recent results from the 2010 Euro-Peristat project have shown a substantial decline in both foetal and neonatal mortality rates and an improved position in the European ranking. However, the comparison of the Netherlands to countries with similar population characteristics and healthcare systems puts this position in a different perspective. Continuing effort will be necessary to improve perinatal health and care in the Netherlands.
2000年和2004年欧洲围产统计项目的结果显示，荷兰的围产儿死亡率高于其他欧洲国家，且下降速度较慢。2010年欧洲围产统计项目的最新结果显示，胎儿和新生儿死亡率均大幅下降，在欧洲排名中的位置有所改善。然而，将荷兰与人口特征和医疗保健系统相似的国家进行比较，会使这一排名情况呈现出不同的视角。荷兰仍需继续努力改善围产期健康和护理状况。
