6.1 THE RELATION BETWEEN SOCIAL DEPRIVATION AND STILLBIRTH CAUSES
A. Tang, M. Whitworth, D. Roberts. Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, UK
Social deprivation is an important determinant of poor health. We aimed to identify appropriate health targets by investigating associations between social deprivation and causes of stillbirth in Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust.
Methods: All stillbirths occurring between 2004 and 2006 were included in the study and classified with ReCoDe. Maternal postcode was used to determine the index of multiple deprivation (IMD) for each patient. Women in IMD decile 1 (poorest 10% of England) were compared with women in IMD deciles 3–9. Results were analyzed using RevMan v4.2 (see table).

Results: 55% of our antenatal population are from IMD 1. We investigated 152 stillbirths. The numbers of observed and expected stillbirths in each IMD decile are similar. 46% of women from IMD 1 are smokers compared with only 7% in the least deprived
