摘要：What is already known about this topic? Approximately 23,000 fetal deaths occurred in the United States in 2017. Data from the National Vital Statistics System show racial/ethnic disparities in fetal mortality. What is added by this report? During 2015–2017, the fetal mortality rate among non-Hispanic Black women was more than twice that among non-Hispanic White women and Hispanic women. Fetal mortality rates varied by state and cause of death category. The rate of fetal death attributable to maternal complications among non-Hispanic Black women was three times that among White women. What are the implications for public health practice? Racial/ethnic disparities in prevalence of fetal death suggest opportunities to reduce the U.S. fetal mortality rate. Improved documentation of causes of fetal death might help guide prevention efforts.
