We assume that live births and stillbirths have the same gestational age. There is ongoing work at IHME to estimate gestational age at birth distributions among stillbirths.

Additionally, we assume that intrapartum and antepartum stillbirths have the same gestational age distribution. [Madhi_et_al_2019]_ indicates this is likely a reasonable assumption (see Table 2).
