• Perinatal related mortality rate - /1,000• Maternal mortality ratio - /100,000• Ethnicity – prioritised maternal• DHB of maternal residence at birth registration• Deprivation quintile (NZDep 2006)• Contributory factors - including organisation and

management, personnel, equipment and technology, environment, and barriers to access/engagement factors that contributed to the death

• Potentially avoidable death – defined when the absence of a factor may have prevented the death
