1) it is the number of stillbirths together with deaths in the first week of life in relation to the number of live and stillbirths.
2) it refers to the number of children who died during the first 2 weeks of life in relation to the number of live births during this period.
3) it is used to assess mother and child healthcare.
4) perinatal mortality rate in 1985 in Poland was 21.8 (per 1000).
5) perinatal mortality rate in 2006 in Poland was 6.0 (per 1000).

  3. C. 1,3,4.

Perinatal mortality combines stillbirths with early neonatal deaths; then check how much Poland improved between 1985 and 2006.
