dc.description.abstract | Over 80% of perinatal mortality in Japan is due to stillbirths after 22 weeks of gestation, with one in 300 families experiencing fetal loss every year. This study aimed to assess causes and risk factors for singleton stillbirth in Japan. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology Perinatal Database from January 2013 to December 2014. A total of 379,211 births including 2,133 stillbirths were analyzed. Causes of death were classified into eight categories. A multi-level Poisson regression model was used to assess the relationship between stillbirth and key covariates. Causes of death were unknown in 25-40% of stillbirths across gestational age. Placental abnormality accounted for the largest proportion of known causes, followed by umbilical cord abnormality. Stillbirth risk was increased among small-for-gestational-age infants (adjusted relative risk [ARR]: 3.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.31-4.32) and nulliparous women (ARR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.05-1.35). Maternal underweight, pregnancy-induced hypertension and oligohydramnios showed a protective effect. Our finding suggests that stillbirths occurring among women with known complications are likely already being prevented. Further reduction in stillbirths must target small-sized fetuses and nulliparous women. Improved recording of the causal pathways of stillbirths is also needed. © 2018 The Author(s). | |
