Computation description:![]() | Part A: Number, rate, rate ratio and rate difference
(‘Perinatal mortality’ is defined as death of an infant within 28 days of birth (neonatal death) or of a fetus (unborn child) that weighs at least 400 grams or, if birth weight is unavailable, at gestational age of 20 weeks or more). Part B: Excess perinatal deaths: Observed number of Indigenous deaths among perinatals less expected number of perinatal deaths among Indigenous children if the age specific rate of the non-Indigenous population was applied to the Indigenous population. |
Computation:![]() | Part A: 1000 x (Numerator ÷ Denominator) Part B: Excess deaths: Observed number of Indigenous deaths among perinatals less expected number of perinatal deaths among Indigenous children if the age specific rate of the non-Indigenous population was applied to the Indigenous population. |
