Mapping stillbirth and infant mortality rates: a district-wise exploration using civil registration system reports of Karnataka
This study highlights a declining trend in the number of stillbirths and reveals substantial spatial disparities in both stillbirth and infant mortality rates across Karnataka. The identification of high-burden districts such as Dharwad, Gadag, Davangere, and Chitradurga emphasizes the need for geographically targeted strategies to improve maternal and child health outcomes.
