Trimester specific determinants of Pregnancy loss among women in Reproductive age group from India -Evidence from National Family Health Survey (2015-16)

Abstract Background: Abortions are the most common causes of pregnancy loss among women of reproductive age. In a country like India, there is not enough effort being done to address this problem.Methods: The National Family Health Survey (2015-16) was used in this study, and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used. The GIS map is used to understand the spatial distribution of abortions.Results: Our results show that the rates of abortions rise with women's age, education, and place of residency, according to our findings. Muslim women have a lower risk of abortion than Hindu women. The rich women have a higher chance of having an abortion than the poor women. The socioeconomic characteristics were also linked to the loss of pregnancy.Conclusions: Abortion care for women that is both affordable and well-informed can improve women's reproductive health. In the backward districts, the government should strengthen the use of contraceptives.
