Initiation of oxytocin for labour augmentation, according to labour progress. The difference in overall use of oxytocin for labour augmentation between intra-hospital stillbirths and controls was significant with the stillbirth cases receiving the treatment more often (OR 1.86, 95 % CI 1.06–3.27). Intra-hospital stillbirths: Documented positive foetal heart rate on admission, birthweight ≥2000 g. Controls: Apgar score ≥7, birthweight ≥2000 g
