(a) Bayesian network of overall (status quo) probabilistic inference of WHO regions, gender inequality, ANC coverage, skilled birth attendants at delivery, anaemia in pregnancy on stillbirth rate. (b) Probabilistic inferences (%) of the key determinants for each WHO region. Note: (i) Strength of influence displayed by weighted normalized width of links. (ii) Green arcs represent strengthening effects, while red arcs and purple arcs represent weakening and unclear effects, respectively (iii) Stillbirth rate (high >12, low ≤12 per 1000 births); Gender inequality index (high >0.4, low ≤0.4); ANC coverage (high >75%, low ≤75%); skilled birth attendants during delivery (high >85%, low ≤85%); anaemia in pregnancy (high >40%, low ≤40%). (iii) WHO region: African (AFR), American (AMR), Eastern Mediterranean (EMR), European (EUR), South East Asian (SEAR), and Western Pacific (WPR).
