title: [Perinatal mortality in Austria:  an analysis of social risk factors].
abstract: Social factors related to perinatal mortality are analyzed using log-linear models and data for a sample of 215 perinatal deaths that occurred in hospitals in Vienna, Austria, during 1978.  A sample of 210 surviving children is used as a control group.  "The findings indicate that perinatal mortality decreases with higher education of mothers.  Furthermore, the risk of perinatal mortality is considerably higher for those who have mothers above age 35.... For illegitimate births, the risk of death is twice that of legitimate births even when accounting for differential medical control during pregnancy."  (summary in ENG)
