Note: Hebdomadal deaths are deaths to infants ages zero to six days. Perinatal deaths are hebdomadal plus fetal deaths.

Infant death and hebdomadal rates are per 1,000 live births. Fetal death and perinatal death rates are per 1,000 live births plus fetal deaths.

In 2017, hospital audits found additional fetal deaths. The number of fetal deaths between 2007-2015 will not match what was reported in the past.
