Introduction: In Peru, a little is known about risk factors associated with late fetal death. This is a valuable information, which have to be used in order to implement preventional strategies. Objectives: To evaluate association between late fetal death and social, demographical, obstetrical and pathological factors in a peruvian hospital. Methods: A retrospective study of cases and controls between July 2014 and June 2016. The cases were pregnant women who had intrauterine fetal death and controls were pregnant women who had a newborn alive. Educational level, profession, number of prenatal care consults (CPN), and complications as preterm birth, pre-eclampsia or intrauterine growth retardation (RCIU) were evaluated as possible associated factors. Results: 60 cases and 120 controls were included. Primary education level (OR = 4,3; 95% CI = 1,0-18,0), working occupation (OR = 3,8; 95% CI = 1,3-11,0), no CPN (OR = 21,0; 95% CI = 2,6-170,1), pre-eclampsia (OR = 4,1; 95% CI = 1,3-12,7), preterm birth (OR = 10,1; 95%CI = 4,7-21,7) and RCIU (OR = 7.0; 95%CI = 2.4-20.5) were associated with fetal mortality. Conclusion: There are social, demographical, obstetrical and pathological risk factors associated with late fetal death.
