| Description | The extensive list of included concepts provides a detailed picture of miscarriage, encompassing completion status, potential complications, and specific causes.
This value set can be used for various purposes, including tracking miscarriage rates, identifying risk factors, and monitoring complications.
It's important to differentiate between spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) and induced abortion based on intention and intervention. |
| Purpose | (Clinical Focus: This value set encompasses a comprehensive range of concepts related to spontaneous pregnancy loss (miscarriage) across all trimesters. It includes details on completeness of the miscarriage, presence of complications, and specific causes.),(Data Element Scope: This data element captures the occurrence and characteristics of a miscarriage. It can be used to identify the stage of completion (complete or incomplete), presence of complications (e.g., infection, hemorrhage), and specific details about the miscarriage event (e.g., cause, location of ectopic pregnancy).),(Inclusion Criteria: This value set includes a broad spectrum of concepts related to miscarriage:
Completion Status: Identifies complete miscarriage (all pregnancy tissue expelled) and incomplete miscarriage (some tissue remains).
Complications: Captures various complications that may arise from miscarriage, including infection, hemorrhage, and damage to pelvic organs.
Specific Causes: Includes concepts for known causes of miscarriage, such as infections, chromosomal abnormalities, and medical conditions.
Pregnancy Loss Stages: Covers miscarriage events across all trimesters (first, second, and third).
Other Miscarriage Concepts: Includes vanishing twin syndrome, chemical pregnancy, and miscarriage care (plans and management).),(Exclusion Criteria: This value set excludes concepts related to induced abortion (termination of pregnancy by medical or surgical means). Additionally, concepts unrelated to human pregnancy (e.g., miscarriage of animal fetuses) are not included.) |
