OBJETIVE. To report true and corrected perinatal mortality rates al GAINH. DESIGN. Restrospective study of clinical histories of dead newborn infants and fetal deaths occuring at the Obstetrical Service GAINH from January 1, 1990 through May 31 1997. Results are presented by statistical analysis. STTING. Obstetrical Service, Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital. RESULTS. From 561 clinical histories of perinatal deaths we studied 330 death dating 28 gestational weeks on. Perinatal mortality rat was 10,6 x 1000 Inb and corrected perinatal mortality rate 5,6 x 1000 Inb, with increase during 1994 and 1995. Congenital malformations occurred in 18%. We correlated perinatal death with gestational age, weight and amniotic fluid characteristics. CONCLUSION. Introduction of fetal surveillance at the Obstetrical Service has decreased general perinatal mortality rate, not with standing afte...

Retrospective, descriptive study to determine tb etiological factors in recurrent abortion in patients attended at Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital Obstetrical Service between 1993 and 1995 -Findings in 42 patients with 2 or more consecutive abortions showed autoimmune disorder in 11,9 uterine anatomical defect in 9,5%, and hormona infectious and genetic abnormalities in 7,1%, 4,8 and 2,4%, respectively. No cause was found in 64,3 We consider we did not find the etiological factor i the majority of cases because of insufficient technology.
