Sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics of stillbirths in China: a census of nearly 4 million health facility births between 2012 and 2014.
Very little is known about the burden and determinants of stillbirths in China. We used data from a national surveillance system for health facility births to compute a stillbirth rate representative of all facility births in China and to explore sociodemographic and obstetric factors associated with variation in the stillbirth rate. ⋯ National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China, National Natural Science Foundation of China, China Medical Board, WHO, and UNICEF.
