Methods: Thestudywasdescriptive-analyticalresearch. Theelectronicbirthregistrationform, whichisusedtocollectdeliverydata in Iran, was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive, univariate, and multivariate regression tests.
Results: The incidence of stillbirth was 10 per 1000 births and consistent with the country’s rate. There was a significant correlation between stillbirth and gestational age, birth weight, anomalies, vaginal delivery, outside hospital delivery, delivery complications, episiotomy, and labor induction and augmentation.
