Data from the National Medical Birth Register was linked to data from Statistics Sweden and the VAL databases using the personal identity number of the mother. Maternal and fetal characteristics, inpatient care occasions, length of hospital stay, outpatient visits, and antenatal care visits were compared between women divided by maternal origin, experiencing live births, and stillbirths. Regression models using a forward selection strategy were performed, adjusting for different potential mediators on the causal pathway from maternal country of origin to stillbirth.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among women with live births, those originating from Middle East\/Northern Africa, sub\u2010Saharan Africa, and South America had significantly higher proportions of inpatient care occasions than women originating from high\u2010income Western Countries. Women with live births originating from other regions than high\u2010income Western Countries had significantly less antenatal care visits, regardless of parity. Among women with stillbirths, women originating from sub\u2010Saharan Africa had significantly more inpatient care occasions and fewer antenatal care visits than women originating from high\u2010income Western Countries. After adjusting for maternal risk factors, SGA infants, socioeconomic factors, multiple inpatient care occasions, and few antenatal care visits during pregnancy, women from sub\u2010Saharan Africa had a slightly elevated risk of stillbirth (aOR 1.29, 95% CI 1.00\u20131.66,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010value 0.047) compared to women from high\u2010income Western Countries.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Women originating from other regions than high\u2010income Western Countries, especially those from sub\u2010Saharan Africa, attended fewer antenatal care visits and had more inpatient care occasions compared to women from high\u2010income Western Countries.
