Trends and recurrence of stillbirths in NSW.

Conclusion: There has been no decline in the stillbirth rate in NSW in recent years, which, at late gestations, may be accounted for by changes in the maternal population. At early gestations, there has been an increase in stillbirths where a decrease in rate may be expected based on the maternal population. Implications: Further focus on addressing risk factors for stillbirths is needed to ensure continued progress is made in reducing stillbirths. PMID: 24750492 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
