This report presents perinatal and maternal mortality data in New Zealand. Key findings include the perinatal mortality in 2007 was 9.8 per 1000 births, a rate comparable to both Australia and the United Kingdom. There were no significant differences in perinatal related mortality by ethnicity in 2007 although the small numbers involved may mask a significant association. There is, though, a statistically significant association between the deprivation index and perinatal related mortality. The Committee notes that lack of detailed information about all women who give birth in New Zealand restricts analysis of the importance of potential predictors of perinatal death. In relation to domestic violence, the report notes that in 2007 the Ministry of Health funded a number of family violence coordinators. Among women whose babies died in 2007, almost 3% disclosed experiencing family violence. Between 32 % and 52 % of women were not screened. Of women who reported experiencing family violence, 12 of 18 were referred to a relevant service for assistance. A number of recommendations are made in relation to the Ministry of Health and district health boards, clinicians and lead maternity carers and for future Committee reporting.
