Abstract :

In the present retrospective study, an attempt has been done to identify the epidemiology and risk factors associated with stillbirths in Central India. Data required for the study was collected over a period of 1 year from January 2014 to December 2014, from Shyam Shah Medical College, Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. Data such as sex of the inborn, type of delivery along with various Antenatal factors were studied. Results from the study indicate that majority of the risk factors are preventable and close monitoring and weekly follow up in last trimester may be beneficial in preventing risk factors.
