Antenatal Mortality Rate

The antenatal mortality rate (ANR) is a statistical indicator that reflects the ratio of the number of deaths of fetuses after 28 weeks of pregnancy to the total number of children born alive or stillborn in a year. This indicator is often used to assess the quality of health care for pregnant women and to identify risk factors that may affect the health of the fetus.

The antenatal mortality rate is calculated using the formula:

CAS = (number of fetal deaths / total number of births) * 1000

where the number of fetal deaths is the number of fetal deaths after 28 weeks of pregnancy, and the total number of births is the total number of children born alive or dead during the year.

This indicator can be used to compare the results of medical care in different regions or countries. For example, if the antenatal mortality rate is high, this may indicate insufficient effectiveness of medical care and the need to improve the quality of treatment and prevention.

However, it should be noted that the antenatal mortality rate is not the only indicator of the quality of medical care, and to fully assess the health of pregnant women and their fetuses, it is necessary to take into account other factors, such as socio-economic status, access to medical care, quality of nutrition, etc.

Overall, the antenatal mortality rate is an important indicator for assessing the quality of care for pregnant women, but it should not be the sole criterion for making decisions about improving care.

Antenatal (prenatal) mortality rate.

The antenatal or prenatal mortality rate is a statistical ratio that shows the ratio of the number of deaths of fetuses during pregnancy greater than 28 weeks to the total number of children who were born alive or stillborn during one year. To measure the value of the antenatal death rate, it is necessary to analyze records of the number of children born alive or stillborn in different countries over a certain period of time. Thus, this indicator can help understand how much placenta is lost each month due to perinatal hypoxia, trauma and other factors. The antenatal mortality rate may
