Miscarriage Care and Facilities in Scotland: Scoping Report NHS Highland
This report details the findings of a scoping exercise to better understand miscarriage care in Scotland within this Health Board. The individual Health Board reports and the national report seek to aid policy makers and Health Boards in making decisions about improvements to Miscarriage Care
Gestation at which miscarriage care is provided
All sites in Scotland were asked to provide an approximation of the gestation at which miscarriage care is provided at their site. There was wide variation in responses, particularly among sites that do not currently collect data on gestation. Just over half (57%) of sites said they collected information on gestation, while 43% did not currently collect this. The average approximations of gestation at which miscarriage care is provided are presented in Table 4 below.
| Site | Under 9 weeks % | 9-12 weeks % | Over 12 weeks % |
|---|---|---|---|
| All sites Average | 65 | 26 | 9 |
