The incidence of stillbirth is high in the United States and not improving, according to a new study published Monday.

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 CDC’s national estimates of about one in 175 (5.7 per 1,000) based on fetal death certificates gathered by states.
