Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women who experienced a spontaneous abortion during the first 14 weeks of pregnancy and are able to complete questionnaires during hospitalization.

Probably not a fit

People whose pregnancy loss occurred after 14 weeks, who had a non-spontaneous (induced) termination, or who cannot complete the questionnaires are unlikely to benefit from this project.

What this trial studies

This prospective, questionnaire-based study enrolls women with spontaneous miscarriage up to 14 weeks gestation and combines medical record review with self-administered instruments. Participants complete validated questionnaires (IES-R, PCL-S, and TRM) during hospitalization to capture symptoms over the past week and month. Questionnaire scores will be used to estimate the prevalence and severity of PTSD-related symptoms in the cohort. The goal is to identify women who could benefit from early psychological support and to inform clinical care after early pregnancy loss.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help clinicians identify women at risk for PTSD after miscarriage and offer earlier psychological support.

How similar studies have gone: Previous questionnaire-based studies have reported that PTSD symptoms are common after early pregnancy loss, so this approach is consistent with existing findings.
