Maternal and fetal risk factors for stillbirth
Objective To assess the main risk factors associated with stillbirth in a multiethnic English maternity population . Design Cohort study . Setting National Health Service region in England. Population 92 218 normally formed singletons including 389 stillbirths from 24 weeks of gestation, delivered during 2009-11. Main outcome measure Risk of stillbirth .

As potentially modifiable risk factors , maternal obesity, smoking in pregnancy, and fetal growth restriction together accounted for 56.1% of the stillbirths .
Maternal and fetal risk factors for stillbirth
Most normally formed singleton stillbirths are potentially avoidable and preventive strategies need to focus on improving antenatal detection, as the single largest risk factor is unrecognised fetal growth restriction. Objective To assess the main risk factors associated with stillbirth in a multiethnic English maternity population .
Rapid Response: Re: Maternal and fetal risk factors for stillbirth : population based study Gardosi et al (1) reconfirm the need for early antenatal detection to reduce unrecognised fetal growth restriction. Did the authors findings also correlate with those of other studies in which stillbirth risk rises with increasing gestational age?

Maternal and fetal risk factors for stillbirth
Fetal growth restriction also had the largest population attributable risk for stillbirth and was fivefold greater if it was not detected antenatally than when it was (32.0% v 6.2%). In total, 195 of the 389 stillbirths in this cohort had fetal growth restriction, but in 160 (82%) it had not been detected antenatally.
Utah's Study of the Associated Risks of Stillbirth (SOARS) provides essential data to better understand stillbirth . This data includes factors such as healthcare services before and during pregnancy, and after stillbirth . This project will inform future stillbirth prevention.
