The incidence of stillbirth is high in the United States and not improving, according to a new study published on Oct. 27.
Roughly one in 150 pregnancies (6.8 per 1,000) in the United States result in stillbirth, according to the study published in the medical journal JAMA, exceeding the previously reported national estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of about one in 175 (5.7 per 1,000) based on fetal death certificates gathered by states.
