Perinatal mortality rate: Number of stillbirths together with deaths in the first week of life per 1000 live and stillbirths per annum.
Neonatal mortality rate: Number of deaths in the first 28 days of life per 1000 live births per annum.
Postneonatal mortality rate: Number of deaths after 28 days but before the end of the first year per 1000 live births per annum.
Infant mortality rate: Number of deaths of infants under one year of age per 1000 live births per annum.
Footnote:
 The definition of a still birth child changed on 1/10/92 and now includes loss of foetus from 24 weeks of pregnancy.
All rates are worked out on the rebased population figures from 1992 to 2001
Births and deaths by Health Board have also been revised back to 1992 by looking at the postcode of the mother/postcode
of the deceased to assign the Health Board via the Central Postcode Directory
Infant mortality rates are calculated by dividing the number of infant deaths by the total births (resident and non-resident)
