The following statements about Abortion is true EXCEPT
a. an abortion is a miscarriage
b. a miscarriage is an abortion

miscarriage is spontaneous fetal loss before viability, therefore an abortion is NOT NECESSARILY a miscarriage
Surgical or medical termination of a live fetus that has not riched fetal viability is called
induced abortion

1 in 5 preganancies, 15-25%
Percentage of spontaneous abortions that occur in the first 12 weeks
80%
True about spontaneous abortion
a. incidence increases with increase gestational age.
b. fetal heart activity/viability is noted on ultrasound, and the loss rate is only 3-5%
c. loss rate is 25% in those with first trimester bleeding
d. risk increase with paternal age
D
A. decreases with gestational age
B. 2-3%
C. 20%
True about fetal factors in abortion in abortion EXCEPT
a. 50% if miscarriages are embryonic
b. 50% of embryonic miscarriages which commonly display developmental abnormality of the zygote, ambryo, fetus or placenta
c. 95% of chromosomal abnormalities are caused by paternal gametogenesis errors
d. Euploid abortions tend to occur later in gestation
C; paternal
True about fetal factors in abortion in abortion EXCEPT
a. Euploid abortions increases dramatically after maternal age exceeds 35 years
b. the most frequently identified chromosomal anomaly with first trimester miscarriages is autosomal trisomy
c. Single most common specific chromosomal abnormality is autosomal monosomy X
d. Triploidy is rarely associated with hydropic or molar placental degeneration
D; Tripoidly is OFTEN associated with hydropic or molar placental degeneration
True about chromosomal abnormalities
a. most frequently identified chromosomal anomaly with the first trimester is autosomal trisomy
b. tetraploid features rarely born alive and are most often aborted early in gestation
