| Abstract |
Stillbirth measures provide means to assess adequacy of maternal and perinatal care in a given population. The aim of this study was to describe the determinants of stillbirth in Douala general hospital, Cameroon. Determinants of stillbirth in this hospital are: maternal age ≥35 years (OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.26-2.54, p = 0.001), pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (OR 2.97, 95% CI 0.87-8.89, p value of 0.03), diabetes in pregnancy (OR 9.97, 95% CI 1.15-86.86, p = 0.03), stillbirth in previous pregnancies (OR 3.94, CI 2.02-7.7, p < 0.0001), inter-pregnancy interval >2 years (OR 2, 06 CI 1.22-3.49; p = 0,006), referral from another hospital (OR 14.16, 95% CI 7.08-28.3, p < 0.0001), gestational age <37 (OR 19.9, 95% CI 12.3-32.2, p < 0.0001) and >42 (OR 6.27, 95% CI = 0.86-45.2, p = 0.096), congenital malformation (OR 11.09, 95% CI 3.2-38,5, p < 0.0001) and birth weight <2500 g (p < 0.0001). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 December 2023.
All research outputs
#2,499,289
of 25,037,495 outputs
Outputs from BMC Research Notes
#326
of 4,486 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#45,626
of 320,869 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Research Notes
#9
of 116 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,037,495 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,486 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,869 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 116 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
