  1. aN included stillbirths and live births from pregnancies > 28 weeks’ gestation
  2. bThe rate of stillbirth was calculated from the number of stillbirths divided by all births multiplied by 1000
  3. cEarly neonatal mortality rate is early neonatal mortality divided by total live births multiplied by 1000
  4. dLate neonatal mortality rate is late neonatal mortality divided by total live births multiplied by 1000
  5. eNeonatal mortality rate is neonatal mortality divided by total live births multiplied by 1000
  6. fPerinatal mortality rate is stillbirths plus mortality within the first week of life per 1000 births
  7. gExtended perinatal mortality rate is stillbirths plus mortality within the first 28 days of life per 1000 births
