Determinants of Stillbirth Among Deliveries Attended at Public Hospitals of Southwest Shoa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia: A Case‐Control Study
This study highlights that obstetric complications, gestational age, congenital abnormalities, and low birth weight were determinants of stillbirth. Addressing these challenges requires early identification and management of high-risk pregnancies through enhanced prenatal screening, strengthening antenatal care services, promoting facility-based deliveries, and equipping healthcare providers with skills to manage complications.
