In Ethiopia, the PMR was 33 deaths/1000 pregnancies of seven or more months’ dura- tion (30 still births and 29 neonatal deaths), despite neonatal deaths shown a reduction of 17% over the past 5 years with signifi- cant disparities per 1,000 live births of 43 PMR in rural and 41 PMR in urban settings.9,10 In the southern region, threefold of the national figure was reported, with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) being a single most important risk factor and obstructed labor accounted for 26 % of hospital deaths with 50% of still births and 2-5 folds of ENND.10,11 To the authors’ knowledge, data on the rate of perinatal deaths were very old and were obtained from urban residents rather than from remote population where the rate and the risk factors of perinatal deaths were poorly documented.12	cache/hls-9960.pdf	txt/hls-9960.txt
