Recurrent stillbirth significantly increases fetal loss risk. Women with prior stillbirths face higher risks, often linked to diabetes and hypertension, necessitating targeted high-risk maternal care.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Recurrent stillbirth represents a significant challenge in perinatal medicine.
  • Identifying specific risk factors is crucial for improving fetal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the significance of recurrent stillbirth.
  • To identify etiological factors contributing to recurrent fetal loss.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of stillbirths over a 13-year period.
  • Comparison of outcomes between first-time stillbirth and recurrent stillbirth groups.
  • Analysis of maternal health conditions and infant parameters.

Main Results:

  • Recurrent stillbirth carried a 10.15-fold higher risk compared to first-time stillbirth.

  • The recurrent stillbirth group showed a twofold higher incidence of diabetes and hypertensive disease.
  • Stillborn infants in the recurrent group had significantly lower gestational age and birth weight.
  • Traditional factors like socioeconomic status and chorioamnionitis were not significant.

    • Conclusions:

    • Recurrent stillbirth is associated with increased maternal comorbidity and poorer fetal outcomes.
    • While not fully solved, improving healthcare for high-risk populations may reduce recurrent fetal loss.
    • Diabetes and hypertensive diseases are key factors to monitor in women with a history of stillbirth.
