Perinatal death refers to the loss of a fetus or newborn during the perinatal period, which encompasses the later stages of pregnancy (typically from the 20th week of gestation) up to the first week of life. This includes stillbirths, which are fetal deaths before birth, and early neonatal deaths within the first week after birth. It is a tragic event that profoundly impacts families and can be caused by various factors such as congenital abnormalities, complications during pregnancy or labor, maternal health conditions, infections, or unforeseen circumstances. Healthcare professionals and support services provide vital emotional support, counseling, and appropriate care to families navigating through this difficult experience. Understanding the causes and risk factors associated with perinatal death is important for improving prenatal care and working towards prevention.
