Previously called spontaneous abortion, early pregnancy loss (EPL) is the preferred term encompassing threatened abortion, incomplete abortion, complete abortion, and anembryonic pregnancy. EPL has many causes, including chromosomal abnormalities, immunologic and infectious causes, and underlying maternal risk factors. Because many patients present with first-trimester bleeding, clinicians must know the appropriate evaluation and management techniques.
此前被称为自然流产，早期妊娠丢失（EPL）是首选术语，包括先兆流产、不完全流产、完全流产和胚胎停育。EPL 有许多原因，包括染色体异常、免疫和感染原因以及潜在的母体危险因素。由于许多患者表现为先兆流产，因此临床医生必须了解适当的评估和管理技术。
