Objective: To determine the risk factors for intrauterine fetal death at the María Auxiliadora Support Hospital from 2005 to 2010. Materials and Methods: Epidemiological, analytical, case-control study. Results: The fetal death rate per 1,000 live births during the study period was 20.7. Preconceptional variables significantly associated with statistically significant odds ratios (OR) included adolescents (6.8), elderly women (4.6), nulliparity (11.8), marital status (4.7), and illiteracy (8.76). Conceptional variables with significant ORs included lack of prenatal care (17.1), anemia (7.21), placenta previa (6.91), multiple pregnancy (6.75), heart disease (6.03), eclampsia (5.37), premature rupture of membranes (5.14), cephalopelvic disproportion (4.53), premature placental abruption (4.70), urinary tract infection (4.24), preeclampsia (4.13), prolonged labor (4.04), intrauterine growth restriction (3.36), and diabetes (2.69). Intrapartum variables with significant results included breech presentation (3.49) and prolonged labor (6.65). Conclusions: There are important preconceptional, conceptional, and intrapartum risk factors for fetal death. Reducing these factors could significantly decrease fetal mortality.
