Perinatal Outcomes

Perinatal outcomes refer to the health results and events surrounding the time of birth, typically from the 20th week of pregnancy up to a few weeks after delivery. These outcomes include factors like the baby's birth weight, health status, survival, and any complications during or immediately after birth. Good perinatal outcomes indicate healthy pregnancies and deliveries, while adverse outcomes might involve premature birth, low birth weight, or medical issues for the newborn. Monitoring these outcomes helps healthcare providers improve care and reduce risks for mothers and babies during this critical period.
