Tommy’s, the baby charity, funds one of three national research centres in Manchester, with the express aim of reducing preventable stillbirth within Greater Manchester by the application of basic science research.
Stillbirth rates are unacceptably high in the UK, but one of the challenges faced in studying this condition is that the
incidence is approximately 1:200 3rd trimester births often with little antecedent warning. Many conditions (e.g. preeclampsia
(PE), fetal growth restriction (FGR) and prematurity) are interrelated with themselves and stillbirth and
studying each condition in isolation is therefore ill advised. To address this we propose to collect a large cohort of
pregnancy data and standardise tissue collection in this group. This will simplify the research system for patients by
within St. Mary's and improve our chances of successful identifying measures that with lower the rate of stillbirth in
Manchester and the UK as a whole. The principal aim of this study is to understand the placental origin(s) of
pregnancy diseases that may contribute to stillbirth.
