3137 fetuses in 33 years: What we have learned from the Wisconsin stillbirth service program

Abstract: The Wisconsin Stillbirth Service Program (WiSSP) provided expert review by a dysmorphologist for community-acquired data on 3137 fetal deaths between 1983 and 2017. Intrinsic fetal causes were consistently identified in about 25% while placental and maternal causes were recognized with increasing frequency as attention was shifted from a primarily fetal to a multifocal approach.
