1/5 Responses from 416 surgical trainees, sad reading: - Pregnancy loss rate of 31%, in those aged 30-34 at survey completion pregnancy loss rate was 35%, this is 3x that expected in this age gp (11%) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interesting findings from Jessica Whitburn and colleagues: Pregnancy loss rates in surgeons were 35 per cent in those aged under 35 years - a rate that is OVER 3 TIMES that which would be expected in this age group. Dr @bykatewomersley.bsky.social Roshana 🦴 academic.oup.com/bjs/advance-ar…
