Material and Methods: This is cross sectional study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics  & Gynae and Department of pediatrics Sylhet M A G Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet, during the period from 1st July 2008 30th June 2009. Here study population were all fresh & macerated stillborn & early neonatal death cases during the study period. For  convenience sampling total 100 cases were studied for this study during the study period.

Results: During this period 8398 deliveries were done & there were 715 perinatal deaths. In Sylhet region neonatal mortality rate is higher (53 /1000 total birth) than our national neonatal  mortality rate (37/1000 total birth) (BDHS, 2007). From this study it was revealed that most  important maternal risk factor for perinatal mortality was pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and obstructed labour.
