Objective:
To investigate the factors associated with late stillbirth among women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).
Material And Methods:
The clinical details of women with HDP having late stillbirth were compared with controls having livebirth.
Results:
Total 208 cases and 288 controls were included in the study. Inadequate antenatal visits (p < 0.001, OR-5.92). birth weight < 2000 gms (p < 0.001, OR 10.3) and BW/PW ratio > 8 contributed significantly (p = 0.0001, OR-5.6) to stillbirth.
Conclusion:
Poor antenatal care, birth weight below 2000gms and high BW/PW ratio was associated with a higher risk of stillbirth.
