A study of perinatal mortality at the Ogun State University
Teaching Hospital during the first 30 months (March 1989 to
August, 1991) of the establishment of a separate neonatal
unit was made. One-hundred-and-sixty-two (87.5/1000) of the 1852
deliveries were stillborn and 60 (35.5/1000) of the 1690 live
births died in the early neonatal period. The overall perinatal
mortality rate was 119.9/1000 deliveries. Of stillbirths,
82 per cent occured in unbooked mothers and were diagnosed at
presentation. The major causes of stillbirths were teenage
pregnancy, elderly motherhood, high maternal parity, and
prolonged, obstructed labour. The major causes of early
neonatal death were low birth weight, breech delivery,
and severe birth asphyxia. The need for increased utilization,
improvement, and regionalization of antenatal and perinatal
services is emphasized.
