Abstract

The trend of birth outcomes was recorded in a small number of research from rural South Africa. Using the most recent delivery data from 2018 to 2022, this study aims to measure trends and risk factors for context-specific demographic, obstetric, and antenatal care (ANC) for stillbirth and early neonatal deaths (ENND) of pregnant women who gave singleton births. All pregnant women who gave birth to singletons at Kwadabeka CHC (KCHC) between January 2018 and December 2022 were the focus of a retrospective cohort research. Of the total 4116 women, 60 (1.5%) delivered stillbirths and 4080 had live births. Of them, 36 were ENND, resulting in 8.8 per 1000 live births. Variables that were found to increase are ANC utilization rates from 95.4% in 2018 to a higher rate of 96.4% in 2022 (p
