Footnote:
The definition of a still birth
changed on 1/10/92 and now includes loss of foetus after 24
weeks of pregnancy.
The bracketed figure is the number of stillbirths
that would have resulted using the old definition of a stillbirth,
i.e. loss of foetus after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Birth rates have been recalculated back to
1992 based on 2001 revisions of mid year estimates.
