Earlier specialised care could prevent 10,000 miscarriages a year, UK study finds
A UK study suggests that providing specialized care after a woman's first miscarriage could prevent approximately 10,000 miscarriages annually. Currently, women are only eligible for such care after experiencing three miscarriages, but the charity Tommy's advocates for earlier intervention. The proposed model has shown promising results in Scotland and aims to improve health outcomes for mothers across the UK.
- ▪The study indicates that early specialized care could reduce the risk of future miscarriages by 4%.
- ▪Women receiving specialized care were 47% more likely to identify risk factors affecting their pregnancies.
- ▪The charity Tommy's calls for the implementation of this care model across the UK to support women after their first miscarriage.
