Abstract
To compare perinatal deaths between aborigines and non-aborigines, 198 consecutive perinatal deaths (96 aboriginal and 102 non aboriginal) amongst 9948 births (2340 aboriginal and 7598 non aboriginal) that took place in Royal Darwin Hospital between 1984 and 1989, were studied. The objective of the comparison was to identify the differences between the two groups and the deficits in order to achieve better preventability and reduction in perinatal deaths.
