Slope value estimated and indicating that with increasing of inverse transformation of one lagged of period factor (one year), occurrence a positive increment on natural logarithm transformation of the unit of dead birth number, and that estimated by (-0.95284), and that increment recorded highly significant and positive effectiveness at P<0.01, as well as strong and highly significant correlation ship at P<0.01 between studied factors, and accounted (0.69863), with meaning determination coefficient R-Square  (48.808%), which explanation disturbances among the numbers of dead birth along the studied periods.
