    Background:

    • Stillbirth affects approximately 1% of pregnancies, presenting a common yet traumatic experience for healthcare providers.
    • Detailed stillbirth evaluations are frequently deferred due to the unpleasant nature of the event.
    • Chronic fetal hypoxia or asphyxia is the presumed leading cause of stillbirth, though not always immediately apparent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive evaluation protocol for stillbirth.
    • To guide physicians in assessing stillbirth cases effectively.
    • To emphasize the importance of a thorough investigation despite the challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • The study outlines a protocol for stillbirth evaluation.
    • It suggests a range of tests and studies to be considered.
    • The protocol aims to facilitate a complete assessment.

    Main Results:

    • A protocol is presented to assist physicians in performing a complete stillbirth evaluation.
    • The protocol addresses the common cause of chronic fetal hypoxia.
    • It acknowledges that not all components are necessary for every case.

    Conclusions:

    • Physicians must be prepared to conduct a complete stillbirth evaluation.
    • A structured protocol can aid in this process.
    • Tailored evaluations, considering individual case specifics, are ideal.
