This study identified key risk factors for fetal death in Brazil, including placental abruption, syphilis, and inadequate prenatal care. These findings can inform public health programs to reduce stillbirth rates.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Fetal death remains a significant concern in maternal health globally.
  • Identifying specific risk factors is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies.
  • Previous research highlights various contributing factors, but population-specific data is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the risk factors associated with fetal death.
  • To analyze demographic, clinical, and obstetric factors in a Brazilian population.
  • To provide data for improving antenatal care programs.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study was conducted.
  • Participants included 122 cases of fetal death (≥20 weeks gestation) and 244 controls with livebirths.

  • Data collected included social, demographic, clinical, obstetric history, prenatal care indicators, and pathological conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant risk factors identified for fetal death include abruptio placentae, syphilis, insufficient prenatal care visits, history of stillbirths, pregnancy hospitalization, diabetes, hypertension, anemia, and maternal age (both <20 and ≥25 years).

    Conclusions:

    • The identified risk factors underscore the importance of comprehensive antenatal care.
    • Findings can guide the development of primary prevention health programs.
    • Focusing on risk factors like infections, chronic conditions, and access to care is vital for reducing fetal mortality.
