UK perinatal deaths for births from January to December 2021: state of the nation report
This report finds that perinatal mortality rates increased across the UK in 2021, with 3.54 stillbirths per 1,000 total births and 1.65 neonatal deaths per 1,000 live births (3.33 and 1.53 respectively in 2020). However, it also finds a wide variation in stillbirth and neonatal mortality rates across organisations, though these rates increased in almost all gestational age groups. It was also found that inequalities in mortality rates by deprivation and ethnicity remain, but the most common causes of stillbirth and neonatal death are unchanged.ReportMBRRACE-UK - publications (Source: The Kings Fund - Health Management Specialist Collection)
