Diagnostic accuracy of a simplified minimally invasive tissue sampling protocol for stillbirths in low-resource settings
c-MITS is a simpler and cost-effective alternative to CA for determining CoD in stillbirths. s-MITS has a diagnostic accuracy similar to that of c-MITS, while significantly reducing costs, making it adequate for implementation in routine clinical practice in LMICs.
