Abstract :

Stillbirths are a major contributor to perinatal mortality. A universal classification system is required for evaluation of still births and achieve uniformity and comparability. Theobjective was to determine the etiology of stillbirths using the Recode classification system. It was a descriptive study conducted in a tertiary care hospital ,74 still births in a periods of 3 months were classified using Recode classification system. Results showed that the stillbirth rate was 40.77 per 1000 live births. The ReCoDe primary classification system enabled 90.55 % of the cases to be assigned a relevant condition, leaving only 9.45  % as unexplained. The  largest condition associated was fetal growth restriction (16.2 %).So,toconclude,ReCoDe classification system is an easy and uniform system to classify almost all still birth for international comparisons,surveillance and  to plan health care policies.
