Maternal risk factors contributing to stillbirths in semi-rural Ghana: Insights from a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stillbirth remains a critical public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries, impeding progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Given the diverse dynamics of the prevalence and associated factors of stillbirths in various low-resource settings, such as Ghana, it is essential to have comprehensive knowledge to address and mitigate these factors that could influence stillbirths. However, there is a paucity of data on maternal factors contributing to stillbirths in semi-rural areas of Ghana.

Objective

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated maternal factors of stillbirths in semi-rural Ghana.

Design

This is a cross-sectional study that utilised a quantitative approach.
