Hidden grief: study reveals early miscarriages often missing from medical records
NCT ID NCT07406776
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether general practitioners in France record early miscarriages (pregnancy loss before 14 weeks) in women's medical files. Researchers surveyed 145 women aged 18-50 to see if their miscarriage history was noted by their doctor. The goal is to understand how well this important health event is documented, which could improve care and support for women.
