  1. Infant Death Rate -- deaths under 1 year of age per 1,000 live births
  2. Neonatal Death Rate -- deaths under 28 days of age per 1,000 live births
  3. Post Neonatal Death Rate -- deaths at age 28 days and older but less than 1 year per 1,000 live births
  4. Perinatal Mortality = the number of neonatal death + spontaneous fetal deaths of gestation 20+ weeks
  5. Perinatal Mortality Rate = (the number of neonatal deaths + spontaneous fetal deaths of gestation 20+ weeks)*1000/(spontaneous fetal deaths of gestation 20+ weeks + live births)
