It results in a baby born without signs of life.Worldwide prevention of most stillbirths is possible with improved health systems. About half of stillbirths occur during childbirth, and stillbirth is more common in the developing than developed world. Otherwise depending on how far along the pregnancy is, medications may be used to start labour or a type of surgery known as dilation and evacuation may be carried out. Following a stillbirth, women are at higher risk of another one; however, most subsequent pregnancies do not have similar problems.Worldwide in 2019 there were about 2 million stillbirths that occurred after 28 weeks of pregnancy, this equates to 1 in 72 total births or one every 16 seconds. Still births are more common in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Stillbirth rates have declined, though more slowly since the 2000s. Preterm birth
Preterm birth is the birth of an infant at fewer than 37 weeks gestational age. Globally, about 15 million infants were born before 37 weeks of gestation. Premature birth is the leading cause of death in children under five years of age though many that survive experience disabilities including learning defects and visual and hearing problems. Causes for early birth may be unknown or may be related to certain chronic conditions such as diabetes, infections, and other known causes. The World Health Organization has developed guidelines with recommendations to improve the chances of survival and health outcomes for preterm infants.If a pregnant woman enters preterm labor, delivery can be delayed by giving medications called tocolytics.
This change was made as newer studies showed that best-corrected vision overlooks a larger proportion of the population who has visual impairment due to uncorrected refractive errors, and/or lack of access to medical or surgical treatment.Distance vision impairment:

Category 0: No or mild visual impairment –presenting visual acuity better than 6/18
Category 1: Moderate visual impairment –presenting visual acuity worse than 6/18 and better than 6/60
Category 2: Severe visual impairment –presenting visual acuity worse than 6/60 and better than 3/60
Category 3: Blindness –presenting visual acuity worse than 3/60 and better than 1/60
Category 4: Blindness—presenting visual acuity worse than 1/60 with light perception
Category 5: Blindness—irreversible blindness with no light perceptionNear vision impairment:

Near visual acuity worse than N6 or M.08 at 40 cm. United Kingdom
Severely sight impaired

Defined as having central visual acuity of less than 3/60 with normal fields of vision, or gross visual field restriction. Unable to see at 3 metres (10 ft) what the normally sighted person sees at 60 metres (200 ft).Sight impaired

Able to see at 3 metres (10 ft), but not at 6 metres (20 ft), what the normally sighted person sees at 60 metres (200 ft)
Less severe visual impairment is not captured by registration data, and its prevalence is difficult to quantifyLow vision

A visual acuity of less than 6/18 but greater than 3/60. Not eligible to drive and may have difficulty recognising faces across a street, watching television, or choosing clean, unstained, co-ordinated clothing.In the UK, the Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI) is used to certify patients as severely sight impaired or sight impaired.
