Fetal and Perinatal Mortality Tables

VitalStats provides trend tables of fetal and perinatal mortality rates.

 

Fetal Death Data Files

Create your own tables by choosing items from a list of over 100 variables on the fetal death data files.  The files are available in two formats, one with the full range of demographic and health variables at state levels of geography.  The other with county level detail (population over 250,000 only), and a more limited set of other variables. Please note a log-in is required to use this feature.
