Determinants of stillbirth mortality in Greece.

摘要: A population-based case-control study of the determinants stillbirths was conducted in Greece from 1989 to 1991. All reported after 28 weaks pregnancy (N=2,006) during three year period comprised case group. The control group derived random sampling 10% all livebirths Greece, same (N=30,705). data were analysed by modelling through multiple logistic regression. adjusted relative risk stillbirth significantly higher for males compared females. statistically significant monotonic increase observed with shorter gestational age, low maternal education, and older age. Birthweight parity showed a U-shaped association risk, being among both high birthweight deliveries, as well primiparous or multiparous (4+) mothers. Positive associations births, out-of-wedlock marriage non-Greek-orthodox religion noted crude analyses, but these almost disappeared regression model. Maternal urban rural residence no relation risk. Overall, prospective 24th week gestation has been estimated be than that Japan (a more developed country) 40% occurring 36th pregnancy.
