Brief
Identify ways to improve the collection of stillbirth data, and generate new research questions to better understand and prevent stillbirths in the future.
-
Background
This study aimed to link the information captured about stillbirths through several population-based datasets.
-
Key takeaways
The findings will potentially identify sub-groups of women at increased risk of stillbirth who might benefit from closer surveillance, identify risk factors for stillbirth that may be modifiable, help information policy and plan maternity care services to improve the management of at-risk pregnancies, identify ways to improve the collection of stillbirth data, and generate new research questions to better understand and prevent stillbirths in the future.
Although this study has been completed, a final report has not been yet made public, pending publication in a scientific journal.
