1 Infant Death Rate - deaths under 1 year of age per 1,000 live births

2 Neonatal Death Rate - deaths under 28 days of age per 1,000 live births

3 Post Neonatal Death Rate - deaths at age 28 days and older but less than 1 year per 1,000 live births

4 Perinatal Mortality = number of neonatal deaths + spontaneous fetal deaths of gestation 20+ weeks

5 Perinatal Mortality Rate = (number of neonatal deaths + spontaneous fetal deaths of gestation 20+ weeks)*1000/
(spontaneous fetal deaths of gestation 20+ weeks + live births)
