Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand stillbirth ratios and investigate the causes of fetal mortality by analyzing medical records from multiple obstetric care centers over a nine-year period.
- A total of 3,390 stillbirth cases were reviewed, showing a decrease in the stillbirth ratio from 10.74 to 9.31 per 1,000 live births, with common causes being intrauterine hypoxia and unspecified reasons.
- The study highlights a need for standardized investigation practices for stillbirths since many cases lacked comprehensive testing, especially for unspecified causes of death.
Background: Recognizing the causes of stillbirths and their associated conditions is essential to reduce its occurrence.
Objective: To describe information on stillbirths in Brazil during the past decade.
Search Strategy: A literature search was performed from January 2010 to December 2020.
Objective: To determine fetal death rates (FDRs) according to maternal characteristics in Brazil.
Methods: A serial cross-sectional analysis was conducted based on vital statistics of the Brazilian population from 2007 to 2019. FDRs were estimated according to maternal and pregnancy characteristics.
