Abstract

Stillbirth, the loss of a fetus after 20 weeks of gestation, remains a global tragedy. This review explores maternal health conditions, such as pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, premature rupture of membranes, hypertension, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, infections, and lifestyle factors, which increase the risk of stillbirth. It delves into placental abnormalities like insufficiency and abruption, detailing their impact on fetal well-being. Through analysis of 100 cases, it provides insights into epidemiology, risk factors, causes, and outcomes, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and early detection strategies. This synthesis underscores the urgency of reducing the global burden of stillbirth through research, clinical practice, and public health interventions to improve maternal and fetal health outcomes.
