Abstract
A public comment to the effect that Holland has a superior perinatal mortality rate to that in Australia prompted an analysis of this proposition. In the region of Newcastle and The Hunter Valley of New South Wales, detailed information on perinatal mortality over a 5-year period (1983-1987) was available. The data suggest that the perinatal mortality rate in this region is, in fact, superior to that in Holland. The definition of perinatal mortality differs greatly between the 2 countries; and this fact, perhaps unappreciated, might lead to the superficial perception that Holland's perinatal mortality rate is superior to our own.
