Concepts
  • FILIATION:  A legal tie binding two people as a result of one being the parent of the other. If the tie is a natural one, its legal relevance depends on its legal recognition.
  • FOETAL DEATH:  Death of a product of fertilisation before delivery or complete extraction from the mother's body, regardless of the duration of the pregnancy. Death is indicated by the fact that, after separation, the foetus has not breathed or shown any signs of life such as heartbeat, umbilical pulse or actual contractions of any muscles subject to voluntary action.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  The length of time for which data are collected, e.g. a specific day, month or year.
  • STILLBIRTH:  A product of fertilisation whose death occurs before delivery or complete extraction from the mother's body, regardless of the duration of the pregnancy. Death is indicated by the fact that, after separation, the foetus has not breathed or shown any signs of life such as heartbeat, umbilical pulse or actual contractions of any muscles subject to voluntary action.
