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. 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 |
For NHS Tayside the data provided on approximate gestation at which miscarriage care is provided on their sites is detailed in Table 5 below. It should be noted that Ninewells Hospital and Arbroath Infirmary both indicated that they do not record data on gestation. Perth Royal Infirmary were not able to provide this data as all women are referred to Ninewells Hospital.
