A new study led by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Mass General Brigham reveals that stillbirth rates in the U.S. are higher than previously reported, with over 1 in 150 births resulting in stillbirth, particularly affecting low-income areas. The study highlights that while many stillbirths occur with identifiable clinical risk factors, a significant portion, especially at 40+ weeks gestation, occur without any known risks, emphasizing the need for improved prevention and risk prediction strategies.
