Relationship between the Incidence of Fetal Death in the Womb and the Mother's Age and Parity

Abstract

A fetus that dies in the womb at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later, or that weighs 500 grams or more, is said to have died in the womb. This study used a cross-sectional methodology with a correlational analytical research design, which collects data on both independent and dependent variables simultaneously. The 48 responders in this study were all pregnant women who received treatment. The study's findings were examined using the Chi-square test, which revealed a correlation (p <0.05) between the incidence of fetal death in the womb and maternal age and parity. In conclusion, a number of circumstances, such as mother age and parity, can result in fetal death in the womb.
