[b]MATERIAL AND [/b] [b]METHODS[/b]: This clinical study was conducted at Vanivilas hospital and Bowring & Lady Curzon. A total of 200 cases of fetal death after 20 weeks of pregnancy were included in the study, on the basis of simple random sampling method. Details of obstetric history were taken. Obstetric complications were looked and noted. Necessary lab investigations are done. Fetal autopsy was performed in 18 cases with parent consent. The patients were followed up in the post natal period till discharge and any morbidity noted [b]RESULTS[/b]: 200 cases of IUD in 1 year and 6 months period have been studied in detail, analyzed and discussed. Total no of births during this period were 18,844. IUD rate during this period was 32.44 per 10000 births. Maximum numbers of cases were found in age group of 21-30 years (135), 67.5%. There were 105 cases of primigravida (52.5%) encountered in the study. 52cases were second gravida. Highest gravidity was 5. Most cases were unbooked (86%) and were from rural areas. 83.5% of cases were from low socioeconomic status. Maximum cases (153, 76.5%) were preterm babies. [b]CONCLUSION[/b]: The result of the present study shows that there is a high risk of IUD in unbooked cases, low socioeconomic status, in extremes of age and parity and low birth weight babies.
