TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Clinical Reports--Standard Terminology for Fetal, Infant, and Perinatal Deaths JO - Pediatrics A1 - Barfield, Wanda Denise SP - 177 EP - 181 VL - 128 IS - 1 N2 - Accurately defining and reporting perinatal deaths (ie, fetal and infant deaths) is a critical first step in understanding the magnitude and causes of these important events. In addition to obstetric health care providers, neonatologists and pediatricians should know the current US definitions and reporting requirements for live births, fetal deaths, and infant deaths. Correct identification of these vital events will improve our local, state, and national data so that these deaths can be better addressed and reduced.
