The nomenclature used to describe clinical events in early pregnancy has been criticized for lack of clarity and promoting confusion. There is no agreed glossary of terms or consensus regarding important gestational milestones. In particular there are old and poorly descriptive terms such as 'missed abortion' and 'blighted ovum', which have persisted since their introduction many years ago (Robinson, 1975) and have not undergone revision despite the widespread application of ultrasound for accurate clinical assessment and diagnosis. The authors are aware of these shortcomings in terminology and are keen to provide an updated glossary. We hope that this paper will facilitate the introduction of a revised terminology in an attempt to provide clarity and to enhance uptake and use in the literature as well as clinical assessment and documentation.
用于描述早期妊娠临床事件的术语因缺乏清晰度和易造成混淆而受到批评。对于重要的妊娠里程碑，没有统一的术语表或共识。特别是有一些陈旧且描述性差的术语，如“稽留流产”和“枯萎卵”，自多年前引入以来一直沿用至今（罗宾逊，1975年），尽管超声已广泛应用于准确的临床评估和诊断，但这些术语仍未修订。作者意识到这些术语方面的不足，并渴望提供一个更新的术语表。我们希望本文将有助于引入修订后的术语，以试图提供清晰度，并提高其在文献以及临床评估和记录中的采用率和使用率。
