Abstract

Prevalence of intrauterine fetal loss are estimated, and its demographic and socioeconomic correlates are examined using retrospective data from four national surveys in some Arab countries. Multiple logistic regression equations are estimated. Age at first marriage, duration of marriage are significant predictors of the incidence of fetal loss. Women who ever used a family planning method (modern or traditional) in Algeria, Sudan and Yemen are more likely to suffer fetal loss than their counterparts who never used a method, even when conditions of important related factors such as parity or duration of marriage are controlled for. In contrast, in Egypt, those who ever used a family planning method are less likely to suffer pregnancy loss. Parity are important correlates of pregnancy loss in Egypt and Yemen but not in Algeria and Sudan. All the socioeconomic factors: migration status, level of mother's education, her work status are, however, statistically insignificant correlates of fetal loss.
