Objective: Objectives of this study were to calculate the rate of stillbirth in the Regional Hospital Kindia maternity and describe the sociodemographic profile of pregnant women that gave birth to stillborn children. Methodology: This was a prospective descriptive type study on all stillbirths (mother and newborn) received in the Regional Kindia hospital maternity over a period of 12 months from 1 January to 31 December 2012 on a continuous series of 139 cases of stillbirth. Result: The stillbirth rates found in our study are diverse and higher in the group of women with the following characteristics: high maternal age (75‰ in women 40 years or more), lower level study (88.98‰), low socio-economic level (52.16‰), the unmarried status (54.01‰), medical evacuation (95.23‰), multiparity (97.56‰), poor prenatal care (110.56‰). New born males were most affected (64.03‰), as well as those from a full-term pregnancy (79.86‰) and those with normal birth weight (82.73‰). Morphologically, most newborns were not macerated (71.94‰), the rate was higher in case of breech presentation (87.37‰). In case of associated maternal morbidities, the rate of stillbirth was 205.81‰. Conclusion: The high rate of stillbirth in our series is the result of poor management of pregnancy and labor, the low purchasing power of the population, a low level of education F.B.
