ABSTRACT
In this retrospective study the following information was recorded for all 1,296 infants born in 1990 and admitted to the neonatal ward, General Hospital, Port-of-Spain date of birth, gestational age, birthweight, Apgar scores after one and five minutes, type of delivery, foetal presentation, mother's address and data concerning death. The annual perinatal mortality rate was 25.2 per 1,000 live births. The neonatal mortality rate (NMR) equaled 12.8 per 1,000 live births and the still birth rate was 15.0 per 1,000 births. The NMR for the month of August was remarkably high. During the past ten years, the NMR showed a sharp decline since 1982. From a regression analysis, birthweight (R2 = .27), Apgar score after five minutes (R2 = .26) and gestational age (R2 = .22) emerged as predictors of neonatal mortality. Birthweight-specific NMRs in infants born in a regional hospital were equal to or higher than our monthly, yearly and interhospital variations in mortality rates, although the effects of differences in the study populations cannot be completely excluded (AU)
