The perinatal mortality rate (PMR) of sex was in males 25,34/1000NB and in female 16,45/1000NB. According the weight in less than 1000g the PMR was 900/1000NB and between 1001 and 1500g was 461,5/1000NB. In newborns less than 28 weeks the PMR was 1000/1000NB. In mothers above 36 years old the PMR was 37,97/1000NB. In patients with major congenital anomalies the PMR is 357,1/1000NB.
