Perinatal Mortality at the Clínic

Reading time: 1 min

About 60 cases of perinatal mortality are treated each year in the Hospital Clínic Maternity Unit. Studies of each case are carried out by a multidisciplinary team and a complete analysis made of possible causes (e.g. placenta, genetics, infections…). 20% of perinatal deaths have an unknown cause. In all cases, a report is issued with recommendations for future pregnancies.

Research is carried out, with the main line focusing on studying the placental causes that include two related diseases: growth retardation and preeclampsia. To promote openness and advances in the knowledge of perinatal mortality, the hospital's Maternity Unit is part of the International Stillbirth Alliance organisation.
