| Abstract: | The 243 perinatal postmortem examinations carried out at St. Luke's Hospital Malta during the ten year period 1957-1966 are analysed and classified according to the International classification introduced by Butler and Bonham (1963). The series is compared with that of Butler and Bonham and explanations are offered for some of the divergent findings. Congenital malformations which accounted for 15.2% of all perinatal deaths, are analysed in some detail. Finally, figures indicate that in the more recent years, the number of perinatal deaths has decreased, whereas the number of necropsies has increased. |
