Abstract

Total number of 410 deliveries were performed at Kathmandu Model Hospital (KMH)
during 33 months (April 96 -Dec 98 ). Among 410 deliveries 107 (26.09%) cases were
done by Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS), 54 cases (13.37%) by forceps
delivery, 188 (45.85%) cases normal vaginal delivery with epigiotomy and 61 (14.87%)
normal vaginal delivery with or without tear.
During this period, 6 twin delivery cases were observed. There were 14 cases of perinatal
deaths (still birth -10 and neonatal-death - 4). Hence, perinatal mortality rate
during this peroid in this hospital was 34.15.
Perinatal mortality was mostly due to severe prematurity, birth asphyxia, ante-partum
haemorrhage (APH), intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), congenital abnormalities
and sepsis.

KEY WORDS: Neonatal death, Still birth, Perinatal mortality, Antepartum haemorrhage (APH), Sepsis.
