Prenatal exposure to long-term heat stress and stillbirth in Ghana: A within-space time-series analysis

Prenatal exposure to long-term heat stress and stillbirth in Ghana: A within-space time-series analysis

Introduction: Few studies examined the association between prenatal long-term ambient temperature exposure and stillbirth and fewer still from developing countries.
