It has been common practice in the United Kingdom for more than 30 years to classify perinatal deaths according to the maternal condition that initiated the events that led to death. However, such an approach tends to ignore the baby as an individual in his or her own right. The need for an additional classification that identifies the pathological processes occurring in the baby in every perinatal death has long been recognized, and the classification adopted in the 1958 British Perinatal Mortality Survey has now been revised with this need in mind.
在英国，30多年来一直普遍按照引发导致死亡事件的母体状况对围产期死亡进行分类。然而，这种方法往往忽视了婴儿本身作为一个个体。早就认识到需要一种额外的分类方法来识别每例围产期死亡中婴儿所发生的病理过程，1958年英国围产期死亡率调查所采用的分类方法现已考虑到这一需求进行了修订。
