Prevalence and associated factors of stillbirth among women at extreme ages of reproductive life in Sub-Saharan Africa: a multilevel analysis of the recent demographic and health survey
This study concludes that stillbirth among women at extreme ages of reproductive life is high compared to the UNICEF 2022 report. The study identified that both individual and community-level variables were associated factors of stillbirth. Therefore, the ministries of health in Sub-Saharan African countries should give attention to those women at the extreme ages of reproductive life and to women from rural areas while designing policies and strategies targeting reducing stillbirth rates.
