Analysis:
The period and cause behind the perinatal death were studied by the
means of (ReCoDe) Classification of stillbirth by Relevant
Condition at Death. This system seeks to identify the condition(s) which
existed at the time of death in-utero and is based on the following
principles. Stillbirths are distinct from neonatal deaths and
warrant their own classification. There is no need for a
sub-classification according to gestation, as ‘prematurity’ is
not a relevant cause or condition for stillbirths. There is no
sub-classification according to weight, but one related to fetal growth
status, based on weight-for-gestation
