title: [Perinatal and neonatal mortality (according to the data of Republican Pathoanatomic Center of the Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan)].
abstract: 658 protocols of autopsies for the past five years (1998-2002) were analyzed to study causes, risk factors, etiology and pathologic anatomy of different diseases which had resulted in perinatal or neonatal mortality. It was established that newborn mortality was quite often observed in an early neonatal period amounting to 51% of all cases. Newborn infants of male sex and neonates born from I-III pregnancies (68.8%) with birth weight varying from 1500 to 3000 g (58.5%) prevailed in those autopsies. Main causes of mortality in antenatal period was intrauterine asphyxia (66.8%), in an early neonatal period--pneumopathy (45%), intrauterine infection (24.01%), intracranial birth trauma (10.5%), hereditary deformities (7.5%). Infective pathology such as sepsis (46.4%), intrauterine infection (14.5%), bronchopneumonia (7.85%), intracranial birth trauma (7.2%) was dominant in morality rate in a late neonatal period. It was found in the study that lower birth weight and maternal somatic pathology during pregnancy period belong to risk factors.
