Perinatal mortality (PNM) is the death of a fetus or neonate and is the basis to calculate the perinatal mortality rate. [1] Perinatal means "relating to the period starting a few weeks before birth and including the birth and a few weeks after birth."
Up to the 13th week of pregnancy, the risk of miscarriage each week was around 2%, dropping to 1% in week 14 and reducing slowly between 14 and 20 weeks.

As many as 25 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage. About 1 percent of women suffer from three or more in a row, which is the definition of a recurrent miscarriage.
Infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of deaths per 1,000 live births of children under one year of age. The rate for a given region is the number of children dying under one year of age, divided by the number of live births during the year, multiplied by 1,000.
The 18-year-old went to the emergency room three times with severe symptoms, and doctors had to “confirm fetal demise” before intervening She died hours later in the intensive care unit
They’re pretty common, with about 23 million miscarriages happening across the world every year, or about 44 losses a minute, based on a 2021 study in the weekly medical publication Lancet Journal.
[citation needed] For example, the obstetric history of a female who has had two pregnancies (both of which resulted in live births) would be noted as G 2 P 2. The obstetric history of a female who has had four pregnancies, one of which was a miscarriage before 20 weeks, would be noted in the GPA system as G 4 P 3 A 1 and in the GP system as G ...
