Perinatal Outcome

Perinatal outcomes refer to the health results experienced by a baby and mother around the time of birth, typically from about 22 weeks of pregnancy to one week after birth. These outcomes include factors like the baby's birth weight, whether they are born prematurely or full-term, survival rates, and any health problems or complications. Good perinatal outcomes indicate healthy development and delivery, while challenges may involve early birth, illness, or other health issues. Healthcare providers aim to optimize these outcomes through prenatal care and monitoring to ensure the best possible start for both mother and child.
