AB Perinatal  mortality  combines  fetal  and  neonatal  deaths  and  is  one  measure  of  healthcare  quality  before,  during,  and  after  delivery.  Fetal  mortality  data  from  the  National  Vital  Statistics  system  are  usually  presented  for  fetal  deaths  after  the  20-week  threshold.  Using  this  threshold,  the  numbers  of  fetal  deaths  in  the  United  States  in  2013  slightly  surpassed  numbers  of  neonatal  deaths  when  considering  fetal  deaths  beyond  20  weeks  (Fig.  35-1)  (MacDorman,  2015a).
