    Citation Excerpt :

    Recent systematic reviews of care after stillbirth across low-, middle-, and high-income settings have revealed that care immediately after and following stillbirth is inconsistent, variable, and often deficient [36,45]. In some of the high-income countries (HICs), national guidelines and care pathways exist for bereaved women but, paradoxically, hardly any exist in LMICs where the burden is the greatest [46]. The RESPECT (Research of Evidence based Stillbirth care Principles to Establish global consensus on respectful Treatment) study set out to address the need to establish a global consensus for perinatal bereavement care in an effort to reduce the enormous psychosocial burden on families and to reduce the known inequities in the quality of care received following [47].
