Association between interpregnancy interval and subsequent stillbirth in 58 low-income and middle-income countries: A retrospective analysis using Demographic and Health Surveys
The Lancet Global Health Dec 19, 2019
Corsi DJ, et al. - Demographic and Health Surveys (2002–18) from 58 low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) were used in order to examine whether there was a causal association between the length of interpregnancy interval and risk of following stillbirth. Between July, 1997, and April, 2018, a total of 716,478 births from 338,223 women in 123 Demographic and Health Surveys from 58 LMICs were recognized of which 9,647 were stillbirths. However, interpregnancy intervals of less than 12 months were related to heightened risk of stillbirth, these impacts were attenuated when second and third intervals were taken in account, implying that the relationship in the first interval may not be causal.
