Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls

Time for Stillbirth Prevention Bundle: NOW.

13 Jan 2025

Description

The stillbirth rate in the US is considerably higher than in many countries with similar resources. In 2021, the United States stillbirth (loss before birth at ≥20 weeks’ gestation) ratio was 5.73 per 1000 births or 1 in 175 pregnancies with 21,000 stillbirths occurring annually. Contrast that to the rate in Japan which is 1.6/1000! The UK and Australia have both implemented stillbirth prevention bundles which have proved worthwhile. It is long past due for the US to have its won national stillbirth prevention bundle. In this episode we will review a publication from Aug 2024 (AJOG) describing this bundle proposal and highlight a letter to the editor from January 9, 2025 in the AJOG in response to that August publication. Listen in for details.
