Stillbirth burden and associated factors in Chengdu, Western China: a population-based retrospective study, 2019–2024
Although annual stillbirth rates in Chengdu remain below national and global averages, a recent increase in third-trimester losses highlights the need for strengthened maternal health surveillance. Targeted interventions addressing modifiable risk factors, improving prenatal monitoring, and narrowing urban-rural disparities hold promise for further reducing stillbirth rates.
