The objective of the study was to assess Plasmodium\/intestinal helminth infection in pregnancy and other risk factors for stillbirth in Ghana.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A cross-sectional study of women presenting for delivery in two hospitals was conducted during November-December 2006. Data collected included sociodemographic information, medical and obstetric histories, and anthropometric measures. Laboratory investigations for the presence of<jats:italic>Plasmodium falciparum<\/jats:italic>and intestinal helminths, and tests for hemoglobin levels were also performed.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The stillbirth rate was relatively high in this population (5%). Most of the stillbirths were fresh and 24% were macerated. When compared to women with no malaria, women with malaria had increased risk of stillbirth (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\"><mml:mrow><mml:mtext>OR<\/mml:mtext><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>1.9<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>, 95%\u2009<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\"><mml:mrow><mml:mtext>CI<\/mml:mtext><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>1.2<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>\u20139.3). Other factors associated with stillbirth were severe anemia, low serum folate concentration, past induced abortion, and history of stillbirth.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The fact that most of the stillbirths were fresh suggests that higher quality intrapartum care could reduce stillbirth rates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2010\/350763","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,1]],"date-time":"2010-04-01T11:31:17Z","timestamp":1270121477000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Malaria, Intestinal Helminths and Other Risk Factors for Stillbirth in Ghana"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2010","author":[{"given":"Nelly J.","family":"Yatich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Birmingham, AL 35294-0022, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ellen","family":"Funkhouser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Preventive Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Birmingham, AL 35294-0022, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John E.","family":"Ehiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mel and Enid Zuckerman Collage of Public Health University of Arizona 1295 N.
