(ICD-10)." [1] See the reference for a detailed definition of a live birth. See International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The global rate is 224 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2020 (latest available year for some countries). [1]
Overview tab The WHO uses the ICD-10 definitions of "late fetal deaths" as their definition of stillbirth. [18] Other organisations recommend that any combination of greater than 16, 20, 22, 24 or 28 weeks gestational age or 350 g, 400 g, 500 g or 1000 g birth weight may be considered a stillbirth. [38]
Live births are recorded on a U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth, also known as a birth certificate. [4] The United States recorded 3,605,201 live births in 2020 which is a 4% decrease from 2019 and the 6th consecutive year of decline in births. [5] Not all pregnancies result in live births. A woman may choose to end her pregnancy by abortion.

A 2015 study found that even with active treatment, no infants born at less than 22 weeks survived, but an infant born at 21 weeks and one day in April of 2021 did survive his premature birth. [18] At 23 weeks survival without severe impairment is less than 2%, and at 25 weeks, up to 30% might survive without severe impairment.
The rate of ectopic pregnancy is about 11 to 20 per 1,000 live births in developed countries, though it may be as high as 4% among those using assisted reproductive technology. [5] It is the most common cause of death among women during the first trimester at approximately 6-13% of the total. [ 2 ]
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus. [nb 1] [2] An abortion that occurs without intervention is known as a miscarriage or "spontaneous abortion"; these occur in approximately 30% to 40% of all pregnancies.
Stillbirth is the most common outcome, with a few rare examples of live birth, after which death invariably occurs within a short time. The disorder was first described by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in 1836. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek word ἰνίον inion, for the occipital bone/nape of the neck.
