If deaths of newborn inpatients are included in the numerator, all discharges of newborn inpatients must be included in the denominator.
Ordinarily, newborns are included in the gross death rate unless a facility chooses to calculate their rate separately.
Regional
Removes the ability to feel any pain or sensations in a specific region of the body
Spinal and epidural anesthesia are examples
Local
Numbs a small area of the body
An indirect obstetric death is not directly due to obstetric causes, even though the physiologic effects of pregnancy are partially responsible for the death
For example, diabetes
Postneonatal death
The death of a liveborn infant from 28 days of birth to the end of the first year of life (through 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes from the moment of birth)
Intermediate death
Twenty completed weeks of gestation (but less than 28 weeks) and a weight of 501 to 1,000 grams
Late death
Twenty-eight completed weeks of gestation and a weight of 1,001 grams or more
Both intermediate and late fetal deaths constitute what is commonly termed a stillbirth
