Abstract

We were pleased to see the recent Journal article by Saraiya et al. (1), in which the authors attempted to estimate the number of clinically recognized pregnancies that occur annually in the United States. Because pregnancies ending in live birth are determined easily from state vital statistics, this task reduces to estimating the number that end in some form of fetal loss. Because many forms of fetal loss are not routinely reported, the authors had to rely on innovative uses of sample studies to derive their numbers.
