Material and methods: We evaluated all of perinatal deaths in the hospitals in Lublin district between years 1982-1997. Statistical analysis was performed. We need p< 0,05 for statistical significance.

Results: Amongst the fetuses who died before and during the course of labour those who dominated were ones with birth weight ranging from 1000 g to 2499 g.

The percentage of the fetuses in term dead prenatally was relatively high 30-40%. Most of the dead postnatally newborns’ birth weight was 1000-2499 g. Premature newborns’ death represented 80% of all postnatal death cases. We observed significant decrease in perinatal mortality rate (increase in survival rate) of prematurely born infant with birth weight from 500 to 999 g, and especially weighing from 1000 to 2499 g between 1982-1997. We observed more than twice drop in infants' perinatal death rate in 1997 in the second group of infants.

Conclusions: These results show that basic influence on biological loss in our population has still premature delivery.
