A troubling new medical study has found that stillbirth rates in the United States are continuing to surge to alarmingly high levels and show no sign of improvement.
The peer-reviewed study examined more than 2.7 million pregnancies between 2016 and 2022.
Researchers found that roughly one in 150 pregnancies (6.8 per 1,000) ended in stillbirth.
The rate is significantly higher than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) previous estimate of one in 175 (5.7 per 1,000).
The findings underscore what public health experts are calling a persistent and preventable national tragedy that is being massively underreported by the corporate media.
The results of the study were published in the medical journal JAMA.
