Abstract
Dr. Brewer has apparently confused the term perinatal mortality rate, usually defined as the number of fetal deaths during the first week before delivery plus the neonatal deaths during the first week after delivery, per 1,000 live births, with infant mortality, deaths of live born infants during the first year of life, per 1,000 live births.: Both rates have considerable importance and utility but they are quite different. The National Center for Health Statistics has validated the general reliability of the 10% sample as reflecting very closely the final and correct data, which are usually not available until one or two years later.
