The incidence of stillbirth in the Stockholm Region has declined. However, among women originating from sub-Saharan Africa the incidence was significantly higher compared with women originating from other regions and it is still rising. More research is needed to understand why this group is at higher risk and how to monitor their pregnancies to decrease this risk.
