Popis: ABSTRACT Background Globally, 2.6 million stillbirths are estimated to occur each year. The causes of stillbirth are often unknown but can be attributed to various causes. Therefore, identifying the determinants of stillbirth is quite important for applying further meaningful interventions. The purpose of this study was to identify the determinants of stillbirth among deliveries conducted at selected public hospitals in the West Shoa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based unmatched case‒control study with a 1:4 ratio was conducted. A total of 431 (87 cases and 344 controls) participants were involved. A systematic random sampling method was used for control selection. Data were collected using interview administered questionnaire and analysed using SPSS version 26 software. Binary logistic regression analyses were performed for the independent variables and outcome variables. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess the strength of the associations, and statistical significance was declared at P value
