ABSTRACT
The incidence of stillbirths in "one year period" was studied by record analysis in a teaching hospital. A stillbirth rate of 38.4 per 1000 live births was observed. On admission 96.3% cases had some adverse foetal conditions detected readily. Leading factor detected was intra-uterine growth retardation (45.4%). Other major conditions observed were intra-uterine hypoxia (18.4%), malpresentation (11.9%), multiple pregnancy (8.3%). Birth weight was below 2000 g in 53.1% cases. Records showed 78.5% mothers had not received antenatal care.
