National, regional, and worldwide estimates of stillbirth rates in 2015, with trends from 2000: a systematic analysis

Short summary

The global stillbirth rate (SBR) fell 25.5% from 24.7 to 18.4 per 1000 births between 2000 and 2015, with 2.6 million stillbirths estimated in 2015. Despite this progress, the rate of decline is too slow to meet targets like the Every Newborn Action Plan's goal of 12 or fewer stillbirths per 1000 births by 2030.
