In Arizona, reportable fetal deaths are those after 20 completed weeks of gestation or if the fetus weighs more than 350
grams (
ARS 36-329
;
Arizona Administrative Code, R9-19-302
). In addition to spontaneous stillbirths, any induced
termination of pregnancy at 20 or more weeks of gestation (or, if the gestation period is unknown, when the weight of the
product of human conception ismore than 350 grams) also requires the filing of a fetal death certificate.
