Abstrakt:	The article discusses the failure to accurately track data on stillbirths in the United States, which undermines efforts to prevent them. Fetal death records often lack crucial information such as the cause of death, race, and other risk factors. The problem is worsening, with over a third of stillbirth records from 2019 to 2021 missing the cause of death. Incomplete and delayed data collection, as well as a lack of standardized reporting requirements, contribute to the problem. The article highlights the need for improved data collection and legislation to address this public health crisis. [Extracted from the article]
