Introduction
|
|
The following table shows the Healthy People 2020 Objectives for the mortality outcomes:
|
|
|
|
The California County Profile Reports include information on fetal, infant, perinatal, neonatal, and postneonatal
mortality.
|
|
Definitions
|
|
For the Healthy People 2020 Objectives, fetal deaths occurring at 20 or
more weeks of gestation are included in the fetal mortality calculations. For the California County Profile Reports, the fetal mortality rate is defined
as the number of fetal deaths occurring at 20 or more weeks of gestation (including fetal deaths with missing, or unknown gestation) divided by the number of all live births and fetal deaths multiplied by 1,000.
|
|
The neonatal mortality rate is defined as the number of deaths at less than 28 days of age divided by the number of all live births
multiplied by 1,000.
|
|
The Healthy People 2020 Objectives define perinatal deaths as fetal deaths at 28 weeks or more of gestation or deaths until 7 days of age.
For the California County Profile Reports, the perinatal mortality rate is defined
as the number of fetal or neonatal deaths at 28 weeks of gestation to seven days after birth divided by the number of all live births plus the number of fetal deaths at 28 weeks of gestation or more multiplied by 1,000.
|
|
The postneonatal mortality rate is defined as the number of deaths at age 28 days to 365 days of age divided by the number of all live births
multiplied by 1,000.
|
|
The infant mortality rate is defined as the number of deaths within 365 days of age divided by the number of all live births
multiplied by 1,000. Neonatal and postneonatal deaths combined constitute infant deaths.
