Abstract Background Stillbirth is a common adverse pregnancy outcome worldwide, with an estimated 2.6 million stillbirths yearly. In Cameroon, the reported rate in 2015 was 19.6 per 1000 live births. Several risk factors have been described, but region-specific risk factors are not known in the northwest region of Cameroon. This study aims to determine the stillbirth rate and associated factors at the Bamenda Regional hospital, North-West region of Cameroon. Materials and methods A Hospital-based case‒control study conducted from December 2022 to June 2023 on medical files from 2018 to 2022 at the Bamenda Regional Hospital. Cases were women with stillbirths that occurred at a gestational age of ≥ 28 weeks, while controls were women with livebirths matched in a 1:2 (1 case for 2 controls) ratio using maternal age. Sociodemographic, obstetric, medical, and neonatal factors were used as exposure variables. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine adjusted odds ratios of exposure variables with 95% confidence intervals and a p value of |
