Stillbirth rates are high in both health facilities. Risk factors of stillbirths include referral from another health facility, anaemia, preeclampsia and late booking visit, placental abruption, labour dystocia, preterm birth, and low birth weight. Term, post-term and macrosomia were protective of stillbirth. We recommend electronic data storage in hospitals in Cameroon.
