Abstract
Introduction- Intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) is always a massive psycho-affective trauma for a woman and a couple.
The investigation for the cause is essential for improving care by implementing preventative measures. Therefore, this
study aimed to assess the major causes of stillbirth. The study was conduc Methods- ted at a tertiary care hospital in Kolhapur at D.Y PATIL
HOSPITAL. The hospital records of intrauterine fetal death between clinical duration January 2018 to December 2020 were collected and
reviewed and a total of 70 cases with pregnancies of > 28weeks of gestation age, foetus weighing >1000grams and singleton pregnancies were
included. Detailed clinical history, examination and laboratory investigations reports were reviewed to analyse the data. In this study
Demographics and clinical data were analysed using R-studio software (v.1.2.5001). Of t Result- he 70 cases, high number of women who
experienced stillbirth belonged to the age group of 25-30 years (48.57%), had multigravida (70%), female baby (52.86%), term baby (58.57%).
Maternal factors causing stillbirths were evident 62.86% of cases. Hypertensive disorder (25.71%), COVID- 19 positive (10%), congenital
anomaly (1.43%) were the commonest maternal, placental and fetal causes of fetal death respectively. Maternal and placental causes Conclusionare more commonly resulting in an increased risk of stillbirth. Therefore, health care professionals should identify risk factors in order to prevent
stillbirths.
