An on‐line computer system for easy entry and retrieval of perinatal records is described. Using this on‐line system, physicians without any knowledge of computer language can make simple statistical calculations. Originally developed as a data entry system for perinatal records gathered by the Committee on Perinatal Statistics of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, this system was then merged into IMIS, the Integrated Medical Information System of Kochi Medical School. 448 cases of perinatal deaths were registered by the end of 1982. Using these death cases, dependence of main clinical causes of death on gestational week and birth weight is shown as an example of the results obtained using this computer system.
