Retrospective and prospective epidemiological studies of 1500 karyotyped spontaneous human abortions

Boué, Joëlle, Boué, André, Lazar, Philippe·1975·Teratology

Abstract

Epidemiologic studies, retrospective and prospective, were done on 1500 abortions collected from 1966‐1972. No secular or seasonal variations were observed. From the analysis of the relative frequencies of the different types of chromosome anomalies it is estimated that 1 out of every 2 conceptions has a chromosome anomaly. Maternal‐age influence was found only for the autosomal trisomy group, mainly D and G trisomies. No effect of oral contraceptives was discovered. An increased frequency of chromosome anomalies occurred after ovulation‐inducing therapy and after occupational exposure of the father to irradiation. No variations in the fertility rate and in the frequency of congenital malformations in births following abortions was noted. The incidence of recurring abortion was mainly influenced by the reproductive history of the couple before the karyotyped abortion.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
