Eight studies included in the previous estimates were excluded in this round of estimates as our inclusion criteria for SBR:NMR ratio were more conservative. Groups and listserves used to identify contacts with possible population based stillbirth data: MHFT, HNN, Child2015, BetterCare together.
SBR:NMR quality criteria As detailed in the main paper, we used SBR(28weeks):NMR ratio as a quality criteria and excluded
data sources not meeting this criteria. This quality criteria was chosen as it was available across most
data sources, and would be expected not show large fluctuations across settings over time.
However, even in high-income settings this is affected by some misclassification of stillbirth versus
neonatal deaths,1 and this may be even greater in LMIC as evidenced by the reduction in stillbirth
rates associated with the ‘Helping Babies Breathe’ program in Tanzania where fresh stillbirths were
reduced by 24% (95%CI:10 – 36%), and with resuscitation training in 6 LMIC countries where overall
stillbirth rates were reduced by 31% (95%CI:21-46%).2,3
Table limitations of SBR28:NMR ratio as quality criteria: Scenarios shown in the table below highlight situations in which the stillbirth to neonatal mortality
rate ratio may be affected by different scenarios.
Scenario Effect on SBR(GA28):NMR ratio
Low capture of neonatal deaths or better stillbirth
capture eg weaker HMIS, CRVS, facility studies
Small population with large year on year variation
of both SBR and NMR – reporting large number of
stillbirths in given year
Misclassification of neonatal deaths as fresh
stillbirths
Increased
Low capture of both neonatal deaths and stillbirths Within normal range
Under-capture of stillbirths> under-capture of
neonatal deaths
Small population with large year on year variation
of both SBR and NMR – reporting large number of
neonatal deaths in given year
Misclassification of fresh stillbirths as neonatal
deaths
Decreased
Trends in SBR:NMR ratio in HIC countries Ability to track the SBR28:NMR ratio over time is hampered by several factors, including :
9
1) Gestational age was not routinely assessed in most settings until @30 years ago, and
reporting was therefore based on birthweight
2) Neonatal mortality was also rarely separated out from infant mortality before 1970s-1980s,
when the relative important contribution of neonatal mortality to infant mortality when
recognised (corresponding also with the development of neonatal medicine as a sub-
specialty)
Historical data located during the course of the searches under-taken for these estimates was used
to demonstrate the association between SBR:NMR ratio over time.
The figure A below shows the relationship between SBR (measured as ≥1000g) and NMR in 5 Nordic
Countries from 1975 to 2012. A gradual increase in the ratio over this period as neonatal mortality is
reduced at a more rapid rate that stillbirth rates. Data using the 28 week definition were not
available for the full time series, however based on our analysis, it would be expected that the
SBR28:NMR ratio would follow a similar trend, with slightly higher ratios. Data for England and
Wales for 1980 to 1992 using the 28 week definition however reported only a very slight increase
from 0.94 to 1.05.

Figure B: SBR:NMR ratio versus NMR for 5 Nordic countries
From these five Nordic countries when plotting the sbr:nmr ratio versus the overall reported nmr
that the ratio remains around 1 – 1.5, until the NMR reaches very low level (around 3 per 1,000
livebirths). These data as to the changing ratio do not support the addition of an upper ratio limit for
high income/ low mortality settings.
SBR:NMR ratio in higher mortality settings High quality stillbirth rate data are lacking from most high mortality settings. We examined
relationship of stillbirth rates with neonatal mortality over time from England and Wales, where
stillbirth rate (late fetal death) and neonatal rate data are available annually from 1927-1991.

Quality categorisation of national routine data National level data were assessed as high quality using the following criteria:
CRVS strength CRVS capture of perinatal events Completeness of data
VR is considered ‘good quality’ for the purposes of maternal death reporting
Stillbirth rate (adjusted to 28 week definition): national UN-IGME NMR ratio >0.5 for all years
Earliest year of data available is before 2005
For given year female child mortality capture>85%
Latest year of data available is after 2010.
Number of years of data >0.5 *(max year – min year + 1).
69
High quality data with partial time series were data fulfilling all above, apart from first and last data year. Low quality routine data included all other CRVS data points fulfilling overall inclusion criteria, but not meeting above criteria. Table of countries with female child mortality>85%:

Predictor variables
Identification of predictor variables for model input Plausible covariates associated with stillbirth rate, were identified from the published literature.
These included distal determinants such as socio-economic factors, interacting and overlapping
demographic and biomedical factors, associated perinatal outcome markers and access to health
care:
71
A comparable, complete time series for all countries for 1990 – 2015 was required for inclusion in
the model, thus limiting the number of predictors that it was possible to test. Possible predictors
were grouped into four categories: ‘Socio-economic indicators’, ‘Maternal demographic and
biomedical associated factors’, ‘Perinatal outcome indicators’, ‘Access to health care indicators’.

* low birthweight rate includes all livebirths with a birthweight of <2500g – and hence is a composite outcome marker for
fetal health, including both fetal or intra-uterine growth restriction and/ or preterm births.
Indicators in bold had data or estimates available for all countries for all years 2000 – 2015 and were tested in the model
fitting process.
The syphilis index was created to include 3 categories: syphilis prevalence<1%, syphilis prevalence 1 – 5%, and syphilis
prevalence>5% based on WHO worldwide estimates of syphilis prevalence in pregnancy.7
Logarithmic transformations were performed based on the observed relationship between the
stillbirth rates and the predictor of interest untransformed or transformed – if the relationship
between the transformed covariate and the rate was more linear than the relationship between the
untransformed covariate, the transformation was included.

Adjusting for ≥22 weeks to ≥28 weeks definition Data reporting ≥22 week cut off were adjusted using a meta analysis of 139 population based inputs,
including 30,120,462 births (154,584 stillbirths):
RR=1.47 (1.46 – 1.47)
Adjusting for ≥20 weeks to ≥28 weeks definition Data reporting ≥20 week cut off were adjusted using a meta analysis of 56 population based inputs,
including 14,134,226 births (92,289 stillbirths):
RR=2.19 (2.17 – 2.22)
Adjusting for ‘all fetal deaths’ to ≥28 weeks definition Data reporting ‘all fetal deaths’ were adjusted using a meta analysis of 74 population based inputs,
including 13,890,261 births (105,113 stillbirths):
RR=1.51 (1.50 – 1.52)
These data suggest in practice similar to 22 week. Countries included in this analysis were Argentina,
Chile, Malta and Slovakia that plausibly had lower capture below 22 weeks. Also Portugal – where
only stillbirths at >24 weeks are required legally to be registered. Below this threshold registration is
voluntary.
Adjusting where no definition is given For countries in the developed region, where no definition was given it was assumed to have used a
≥22 week cut off and adjusted accordingly.
Data reporting using 25 or 26 week definitions were dropped as no adjustment factor was available.

The adjusted stillbirth rate is calculated as the reported stillbirth rate multiplied by the adjustment
factor. For example a data source reporting a stillbirth rate of 6.2 using the ≥22 week definition
would be adjusted as follows: 6.2*0.68 = 4.2 stillbirths ≥28 weeks per 1,000 total births.
The most commonly reported stillbirth definition in this region is the ≥22 week definition. For
countries in this region reporting stillbirth rates without a definition, it is assumed that the ≥22 week
definition is used and adjusted accordingly.
Note on data adjustments:
The relationship is highly dependent upon whether definitions include TOP or not and the capture of
stillbirths at the lower gestations. Ideally the analysis would have been undertaken separately based
on TOP policy and practice – however, insufficient data were available to inform this analysis.
Non-standard definitions in Other Regions For countries outside the developed region, no country had own country data available to inform
the relationship between stillbirth rates using the given definition, and the ≥28 week definition.
Therefore stillbirth rates using non-standard definitions were adjusted using facility based data
collected for the WHO GS and WHO MCS surveys.

*Many data sources report using birthweight rather than gestational age. Data were only available
for adjustment from ≥500g to ≥1000g, for the purposes of these estimates, it is assumed that these
approximate to the gestational age equivalents.
The most commonly reported stillbirth definition in this region is the ≥28 week definition (or
birthweight equivalent). No strong evidence of a difference between stillbirth rates was found
between studies in these regions using the 28 week definition and those providing no details of the
76
gestational age or weight cut off used to define stillbirth (p<0.05). It was therefore assumed that the
28 week cut off was used in these cases. Data from demographic and health, and reproductive
health surveys report fetal deaths after the 7 month of pregnancy, using pregnancy or birth history
questionnaires. Reported fetal deaths at ≥7 months is used to approximate to ≥28 weeks.
Implausibility criteria In general, capture and reporting of stillbirths are more problematic than the capture of deaths in
liveborn neonates (and neonatal deaths are more challenging to capture than deaths in older
children or adults). Hence, under-ascertainment of stillbirths is a common problem across data
sources, especially when close to the threshold of viability or the threshold of reporting, for example
fetal deaths are more commonly coded as miscarriages when the health provider assesses the baby
to be below the limits of viability. In many high income countries this may affect fetal deaths
especially at 22 and 23 weeks gestation, in lower resource settings, without neonatal intensive care,
fetal deaths up to 30 weeks gestation may not be included in stillbirth figures.
We excluded datapoints likely to reflect poor case ascertainment based on conservative
‘implausibility’ criteria.
Model selection All identified predictor variables with full time series were included in the initial model. For
continuous variables, a univariate analysis was undertaken to identify whether the relationship
between the ln_sbr and the predictor was best described using a ln transformation, or using the
non-transformed predictor. For all variables the BIC was calculated. Predictors were retained when
the direction of the coefficient was plausible. General fertility rate, caesarean section group, and
syphilis were dropped as the direction of the coefficients were not plausible.
We sought to maximise the predicting power of the model, whilst reducing the noise within the
model from a large number of predictors. We removed one predictor at a time from the model,
commencing with the predictor with the largest BIC on univariate analysis, and re-fitted the model. If
the model was improved by removing this predictor (lower BIC compared to the model containing
the predictor), the predictor was dropped from the model. If the BIC was higher, the predictor was
retained. The p.falciparum parasite, gini index, skilled birth attendant, female obesity, proportion of
the population that are urban and protected at birth against tetanus were dropped as a result of
this process.

Calculation of stillbirth numbers Live birth estimates from the World Population Prospects: the 2015 revision8 were used to convert the stillbirth rate to the number of stillbirths using the formula: Number of stillbirths = (stillbirth rate*number of livebirths)/(1-stillbirth rate).
Uncertainty estimation Estimates of uncertainty were generated by drawing 1000 bootstrap samples from the estimation
dataset and using the parameter estimates obtained from each bootstrap sample to generate a new
set of predictions including the estimate of the variance of the country-specific random effects. We
used this estimate of the between country variance to draw, at random, a random effect for
countries not included in the bootstrap sample assuming that the random effects are normally
distributed with mean zero and variance equal to that estimated from the model. To obtain
worldwide and regional level estimates of uncertainty, we summed the data at worldwide or
regional level for each bootstrap prediction run and used the 2.5th and 97.5th centiles of the
resulting distributions around the estimated number of preterm births by country. Because about
half of the modelled countries had a country-specific random effect generated at random for each
bootstrap prediction, some of which were positive and others negative, the relative uncertainty at
the regional and worldwide level tends to be less than that at the individual country level.
For countries with high quality vital registration and with data on reported rates fulfilling the criteria
for high quality VR, we assumed that the standard error of the reported number of stillbirths was the
square root of the reported number (i.e., to follow a poisson distribution).
