Of the stillbirths, 52.3% were fresh and 47.7% were macerated. Women who had not received prenatal care had a significantly higher stillbirth rate (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The most likely cause of a macerated stillbirth was a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, whereas the likely causes of fresh stillbirths were labor\u2010related. The \u201c3 levels of delay\u201d and injudicious use of oxytocin in labor contributed to the intrapartum stillbirths (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The stillbirth rate recorded in the study institution is unacceptably high.
