dc.description.abstractMain findings: Prolonged labour and malaria were the most common attributable causes of term stillbirths in Eastern Uganda, while intimate partner violence and advanced maternal age were the identified risk factors. Added knowledge: Since there are limited recent data on stillbirths that include children born at home in Uganda, these results, which are based on over 6000 births, contribute to a better understanding of the current incidence, the common attributable causes and the risk factors of stillbirths in Uganda. Global health impact for policy and action: These results underscore the need for public health interventions to improve labour care, prevent malaria in pregnancy and reduce intimate partner violence in order to reduce stillbirths in Uganda.
