Objective: To determine the scientific evidence on the risk factors associated with intrauterine fetal death between 2017 and 2022. Design: This study is a qualitative, descriptive review of publications. Study Scope: A meticulous selection of scientific studies published in journals accessible from the Elservier, Scielo, Pubmed, Cochrane, and Sciencedirect databases during 2017–2022 was made. Study Subjects: The study considered 30 scientific articles published in registered journals within the last five years. Instrumentation: The Grade system was used to assess the quality of each article. Results: The review found that 32% of studies show an association between sociodemographic risk factors and intrauterine fetal death, with the most common factors being maternal age over 35 years, primary education level, homemaker occupation, rural residence, being single, and harmful habits such as smoking and alcoholism. Additionally, 39% of studies show an association between obstetric risk factors and fetal death, with the most common factors being preeclampsia, diabetes mellitus, history of fetal death, urinary tract infections, HELLP syndrome, third-trimester bleeding, syphilis, HIV, and gestational anemia. 30% of studies show an association between fetal risk factors and intrauterine fetal death, with the most common factors being intrauterine growth restriction, placental abnormalities, congenital infections, congenital malformations, fetal asphyxia, placental abruption, and prematurity. Conclusions: The review demonstrates that there is scientific evidence showing an association between sociodemographic, obstetric, and fetal risk factors and intrauterine fetal death.
