A new Cochrane Library Special Collection published today brings together reviews on evidence-based interventions to reduce stillbirth and improve care for families after stillbirth and in a subsequent pregnancy, identify women at increased risk of stillbirth, and improve knowledge of causes of and contributors to stillbirth.

The problem: An estimated 15 million babies are born too early each year. Premature babies are at higher risk of a range of long-term conditions including visual impairment, developmental delay and learning difficulties.
