Abstract

In this paper we discuss the results of a study, conducted in the Netherlands, involving 143 women who experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth (response of 69%). The main questions were: how women with a fetal loss before the 20th week (miscarriage) versus women with a loss later in pregnancy (stillbirth) coped with the death of their baby; how the lapse of time since the loss related to grief intensity; and how satisfied women were with the professional care and support. The relationship between some other variables and grief intensity was also examined. It was found that grief intensity was greater and there was more satisfaction with professional care when gestational age was longer. With regard to the care, we concluded that some aspects needed improvement, especially the professional support for women who miscarry and the coordination of care for all women after discharge from hospital.

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.
