Contribution of Maternal Age and Multiple Birth to stillbirth rate differences

Caption

The figure shows the difference in stillbirth rates by country between 2010 and 2021, broken down into unexplained differences (grey), differences due to changing maternal age composition (red) and changing prevalence of multiple births (blue). The decompositions of maternal age composition and multiple births were performed separately. The black dot represents the rate in 2010 and the end of the arrow represents the rate in 2021.
