title: [Child mortality in the Hauts de Seine district].
abstract: The authors present the results of the analysis of mortality statistics among the children who were born in 1977 in the French department of Hauts-de-Seine. The data were obtained from 8th day of life health certificates, from information given by the registry office and from hospital records. The results establish the department in an excellent position: child mortality rate: 7.34%, early neonatal mortality: 2.81%, late neonatal mortality 1.45% and post-neonatal mortality: 3.08%. The causes for child mortality are analysed and suggestions concerning possible improvements are made.
