Abstract

Extreme heat events are expected to become more frequent because of climate change. Our analysis of almost 140,000 births across 16 hospitals in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa indicates 34% higher odds of perinatal mortality (stillbirth or death up to 24 hours after birth) if extreme heat occurred in the week preceding childbirth.
