How is this data produced?
A perinatal death refers to the death of an infant less than 1 week old, including stillbirths. In short, this data is a combination of the data on stillbirths and a subset of the data on deaths. For a deeper understanding of the methodology and associated definition, please refer to the Technical Notes.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
This data is derived based on deaths registered with JPN. Therefore, if a perinatal death is not registered with JPN (for instance, if the perinatal death of a foreigner is registered in their home country, or the perinatal death of citizen in a remote area is not registered), it will generally not count in this dataset. However, adjustment has been made to the number of deaths in Sabah to account for the under-reporting of deaths detected based on the 'Study of Under Reporting of Deaths in Sabah', which was conducted by DOSM and approved by the Steering Committee on Implementation of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics in 2016.
