Objective: To evaluate placental causes of fetal death intrauterine (IUFD) bases on placental pathologic findings.
Methods: Retrospective review of 123 placental pathological reports of singleton fetal deaths from 20 weeks of gestation to 41 weeks of gestation.
Results: The incidences of maternal causes, fetal causes, inflammatory causes, miscellaneous and nremarkable findings were 45.5%, 28.4%, 16.2%, 23.5%, respectively. The incidence of fetal anomaly was 8.9%. Fetal anomalies were deeply related to fetal cause (P=0.000). Intrauterine growth restriction was significantly associated with maternal causes (P=0.038).
Conclusion: No pathological guideline regarding placental examination of intrauterine fetal death exists. In future studies, a better definition of fetal death causes and associated placental pathological
