Defined as the
delivery of a fetus that shows no evidence of life (no heart action,
breathing, voluntary muscle movement) if the 20th week of gestation has been
completed or if the period of gestation was unstated. Note that this ratio applied to fetal deaths occurring during the second half of pregnancy. No reporting is required for early miscarriages. |
