Inequalities in Late Stillbirths: A Population-Based Study in Northern Italy

Listen to this summary

This study aims to investigate the disparities in late stillbirth (L-SB) risk and its underlying causes between Italian and migrant women in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The findings reveal that migrant women experience a significantly higher incidence of L-SB, with distinct etiological factors such as placental pathologies and infections more prevalent among this group. The authors emphasize the need for targeted prevention strategies, including enhanced antenatal care and culturally sensitive counseling, to address these inequalities.
