Summary: The stillbirth rate was 13.2 per 1000 births in China in 2015-2016 and nearly one-third of all stillbirths may be preventable. Regional strategies should be considered to reduce the burden of stillbirths in China. The study identified risk factors such as advanced maternal age, pre-pregnant obesity, and fetal anomalies associated with stillbirths.

Summary: Preeclampsia prevalence rates were similar in Sweden and China, but Chinese women had more severe disease and worse pregnancy outcomes. The study suggests a role for lifestyle and health care factors in the associations of obesity and nulliparity with preeclampsia, with potential differences in pathophysiology between populations.

Summary: This study revealed ethnic disparities in stillbirth risk between Dai women and Han women in China. The disparities were mainly attributed to preterm birth, while maternal diseases and congenital anomalies had minimal impact on ethnic differences.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between exposure to ambient air pollutants and stillbirth in the Chinese population. The results showed that maternal exposure to PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO, and O3 was associated with an increased risk of stillbirth, and the second and third trimesters were identified as crucial susceptible windows.

Summary: The study found that women with a history of stillbirth in the first two pregnancies have an increased risk of stillbirth or other adverse outcomes in the third pregnancy. Additional surveillance is recommended for these women.

Summary: The study found that elevated ambient heat is related to stillbirth, especially in socioeconomically vulnerable populations and non-Hispanic Black women. In hot months, there is a clear association between heat exposure and stillbirth risk, with a focus needed on the most susceptible individuals and potential clinical pathways.

Summary: This study found that anxiety and depression were prevalent among parents following termination of pregnancy for fetal abnormalities (TOPFA) in China. Fathers had similar levels of anxiety as mothers, while depression was more common in mothers. Predictors of paternal anxiety included income level, worry about the pregnancy, and objective support, whereas predictors of paternal depression included worry about the pregnancy, objective support, and maternal depression.

Summary: This study investigates the association between pregnancy loss and all-cause mortality among Chinese women. The findings suggest that recurrent pregnancy loss, especially two or more spontaneous abortions and stillbirths, is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Furthermore, this association is more pronounced in women aged >= 50 with cardiovascular disease or diabetes at baseline.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the trend in stillbirths and the related sociodemographic characteristics of pregnant women in a large internal migrant population in South China. The study found large disparities in stillbirth rates between migrant and permanent populations, as well as among different regions of maternal birthplace. The stillbirth rate was strongly correlated with the GDP per capita of the maternal birthplace.

Summary: The study found that many parents globally experience disrespectful care around stillbirth, highlighting the need for provider training and system-level support to address these issues. Some aspects of care quality need improvement, such as ensuring families have enough time with providers.

Summary: Obese mothers have heavier fetuses but lower rates of small for gestational age infants. However, their infants may be growth-restricted at a higher birthweight centile, leading to an increased risk of stillbirth. This study aimed to quantify the birthweight centile at which the risk of stillbirth in infants born to obese women equaled that of small for gestational age infants born to healthy-weight women, and to clarify the relationship between maternal body mass index, infant size, and stillbirth.

Summary: The study identified determinants of stillbirth in hospitals in Central Ethiopia, with factors including type of labor, duration of labor, mal-presentation, preeclampsia/eclampsia, and birth defect being key influencers. Recommendations were made for healthcare providers, policymakers, and stakeholders to focus on these identified factors to address issues related to stillbirth.
