Examination of a Stillbirth Workup: A Rural Statewide Experience.
The objective of our study was to determine whether recommended assessments were conducted on stillbirths delivered in our predominantly rural state. ⋯ Fetal stillbirth assessment is suboptimal in our rural state, with 15% of stillbirths having no assessment and only 2% having all four assessments. There is no association between stillbirth assessment and gestational age (<28 weeks vs >28 weeks), but there is a correlation between delivery volume and stillbirth assessment.
