Continued thread

In addition, @heinivaisanen.bsky.social presented a poster 'Social inequalities in (recurrent) miscarriage risk among Finnish mothers' with preliminary results finding discrepancies in #miscarriage risk in #Finland by income, but less so by education or migrant status using administrative data

Continued thread

Yesterday, MC Compans presented on 'Miscarriage prevalence and factors: a multi-source approach in #France', discussing the +/- of using surveys, administrative, and qualitative data to study #miscarriage. Triangulation is key and the right data source depends on research questions

Continued thread

💡 Key finding: #Miscarriage affects estimated 14% of pregnancies. While advanced maternal age increased the risk, education level and financial status did not significantly impact the likelihood of miscarriage.

📈 Interesting trend: Younger cohorts reported more miscarriages - perhaps because stigma is decreasing and they're more open about their experiences, because of improvement in early pregnancy detection, or generational differences in recall accuracy.

📑 New paper is out!
We are excited to announce the publication of our research in the European Journal of Public Health, on social patterns of #miscarriage reporting and risk in #France by MC Compans and @heinivaisanen

💡 Key finding: Results challenge assumptions about miscarriage misreporting in population surveys, as we estimate that in the FECOND survey, 92% of miscarriages were accurately reported

Yale School of Medicine: COVID-19 Vaccines Not Linked to Miscarriage. “There is no association between the COVID-19 vaccine and miscarriage, a new Obstetrics and Gynecology study confirms. COVID-19 poses significant risks to pregnant women, but vaccination rates among this population remain low. Using data from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD)—a collaborative network between the Centers […]

This indicates the differences observed among all study participants were largely due to the propensity to get #pregnant at different stages of the life course.

However, due to underreporting of #abortion and misreporting of #miscarriage more methodological work is needed to confirm the results.

The first SOC-MISC publication is out!

@heinivaisanen and Katherine Keenan used the BCS70 data to study socioeconomic inequalities in miscarriage risk.

Summary of results 👇, see link for full article.

Among all women less advantaged SES was associated with a higher risk of #miscarriage during adolescence and early 20s, but it reversed around mid-30s. If only pregnant people were studied, SES was not associated with the risk.
