Fetal loss is high in women aged over 40 years
Fetal loss, particularly spontaneous abortion, is a common event in
gynaecology and general practice, although the specific cause is most
often unknown. On the basis of data from population based registers in
Denmark, Nybo Andersen et al (p 1708) assessed the influence of
maternal age and a woman's reproductive history on fetal loss. The
authors found that women aged more than 40 years have a poor chance of
a successful pregnancy, irrespective of their reproductive history.
