Analysis of problems related to the classification of perinatal mortality was made possible through the evaluation of data collected from the medical records of nine maternity hospitals in South-Hainaut. Medical records of 135 fetal and early neonatal deaths were investigated. Perinatal mortality statistics were compiled on the basis of five different definitions of perinatal mortality. Depending on which definition was used, perinatal mortality varied between 10.2% and 15.1%. This study shows that reporting of perinatal mortality in hospital registries according to the legal requirement is incomplete. Standard data should be collected for each pregnancy product, on the basis of clearly defined, national and international accepted definitions. It is suggested that the 1975 recommendations of the World Health Organization (International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition), be used for definition and classification of perinatal mortality.
通过对从南哈瑙九家妇产医院病历中收集的数据进行评估，得以对围产期死亡率分类相关问题进行分析。对135例胎儿和早期新生儿死亡的病历进行了调查。围产期死亡率统计是基于围产期死亡率的五种不同定义编制的。根据所使用的定义不同，围产期死亡率在10.2%至15.1%之间变化。本研究表明，医院登记处按照法律要求报告的围产期死亡率并不完整。应根据明确界定的、国家和国际公认的定义，为每个妊娠产物收集标准数据。建议采用世界卫生组织1975年的建议（《疾病国际分类》第九版）对围产期死亡率进行定义和分类。
