The prevalence of prenatal death in the community of Viborg, Denmark.
In order to lower the perinatal mortality rate, it is necessary to acquire a specific fetal diagnosis in all late abortions and stillbirths.

We have studied 86 consecutive cases of late abortion and stillbirth at Viborg Hospital, Denmark, and made a comparison with the modified Aberdeen classification of fetal death.
