Abstract
<span>Background: </span><span>Miscarriage is the most common encountered complication of pregnancy. It may be repeated for 3 or more times; a condition called habitual or recurrent miscarriage.<br /> </span><span>Aim: </span><span>To determine the incidence of miscarriage at Baljurashi General Hospital, the demographic characteristics of women who presented with miscarriage, and the most common gestational age at time of miscarriage.<br /> </span><span>Materials and methods: </span><span>A self</span><span>-</span><span>administered questionnaire was distributed to women attending Baljurashi General Hospital who suffer from miscarriage.<br /> </span><span>Results: </span><span>The incidence of miscarriage was 10%. Ninety-two women responded to the questionnaire. Most of the respondents aged more than 25 years, had no job, and were in their first trimester. Half of the respondents had secondary education. Approximately one tenth suffered from repeated miscarriages.<br /> </span><span>Conclusion: </span><span>The incidence of miscarriage, among patients presenting to Baljurashi hospital, was comparable to those reported in other regions. However, the percentage of repeated abortion is high and these cases were not appropriately investigated. We recommend for the introduction of routine genetic studies into the work up of repeated miscarriages. </span>
