A survey of influencing factors of missed abortion during the two-child peak period

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the influencing factors of missed abortion during the two-child peak period in China. 220 pregnant women were divided into observation (presence of missed abortion, 100 cases) and control group (no presence of missed abortion, 120 cases). The single factor analysis of clinical data showed that, advanced age, premarital examination, genitalia abnormality, luteal insufficiency, spouse semen abnormality, mycoplasma infection, chlamydia infection, sexually transmitted diseases, perm or dyeing hair in pregnancy, radiation overload, primipara, spontaneous abortion history, smoking, drinking and overly intimate with pets had significant difference between observation and control group (p < .05). The logistic regression analysis results showed that, the advanced age, genital abnormality, luteal insufficiency, spouse sperm abnormality, pregnancy infection, primipara, spontaneous abortion history and bad life habits were the main risk factors of missed abortion. In the intervention for prevention of missed abortion, these factors should be paid more attention.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject?
