ABSTRACT
Background: stillbirth, also called late fetal death if it occurs between 28 weeks' gestation and birth, is one of the most feared complications of pregnancy. The late fetal mortality rate is an indicator of scientific progress and social development of a country.Objective: to describe the factors associated with late fetal death.
Methods: a study of a series of 221 cases of late fetal deaths was conducted in Cienfuegos province from January 2006 to December 2013. The variables studied included: time and place of death, cause of death, maternal age, maternal weight, number of pregnancies, maternal diseases, pregnancy complications, gestational age and placental and umbilical cord abnormalities.
Results: late fetal death rate was 6.38. Fetal deaths from unknown cause predominated, followed by those associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and intrauterine growth retardation. The largest number of fetal deaths occurred antepartum, before term, outside the hospital, in obese pregnant women, in women with hypertensive disorders and diabetes, and in malformed fetuses. Placental insufficiency and obliterating angiopathy were the most common placental abnormalities.
Conclusion: despite the advances in obstetrics, the late fetal death rate in Cienfuegos province remains high, similar to what have been reflected in other Cuban studies.
