A systematic survey on perinatal mortality has been carried out in Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for eleven years: a 40 to 100 reduction of the rate is noticed, decreasing from 20.6 p. 1 000 in 1969 to 11.9 p. 1 000 in 1978 with a more distinct reduction of the early neonatal component. Important differences are observed in various geographical places both in the rates and in the evolution during the studied period. Differences associated with socioeconomic factors, maternal age and civil status at birth seem to fade out. During the whole period, perinatal mortality rates are lower in foreigners and more particularly in recent immigrants than in Luxembourg people. The chronological aspect of the evolution suggests that these facts are correlated with the adoption of preventive measures in perinatality. This program seems to be efficient not only by globally reducing perinatal mortality but also by decreasing social inequalities in perinatality.
发现该比率降低了40%至100%，从1969年的千分之20.6降至1978年的千分之11.9，早期新生儿部分的降幅更为明显。在研究期间，不同地理位置的比率及变化情况存在显著差异。与社会经济因素、产妇年龄和分娩时婚姻状况相关的差异似乎正在消失。在整个时期，外国人尤其是新移民的围产期死亡率低于卢森堡人。演变的时间顺序表明，这些事实与围产期预防措施的采用相关。该计划似乎不仅通过全面降低围产期死亡率，还通过减少围产期的社会不平等而发挥了作用。
