Reduction of stillbirths in England from 2008 to 2017 according to uptake of the Growth Assessment Protocol: 10‐year population‐based cohort study

Abstract

There has been an overall reduction in stillbirth rates in England that is likely to be a result of increased awareness of the importance of antenatal detection of SGA as a key risk factor for stillbirth. The decline in stillbirth rates was significantly greater in maternity units that had fully implemented the GAP program, and was most pronounced in the units with the highest antenatal SGA detection rates. © 2020 The Authors.
