This study's aim was to estimate the prevalence and maternal age and other risk factors of miscarriage among Sudanese women. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Saad Abuelela Tertiary Hospital in Khartoum, Sudan, from February to December 2019. Sociodemographic, obstetric and clinical data were collected. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Four hundred thirteen (20.5%) women reported experiencing a miscarriage. Risk factors included older age, high parity, histories of caesarean delivery, and obesity. Logistic regression showed that the lowest risk for women aged less than 20 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.33) or 20 to 24 years (AOR, 0.57), primiparas (AOR, 0.42) and women educated below the secondary level (AOR, 0.78). Unlike the global age-associated risk of miscarriage, the risk of miscarriage among Sudanese women follows a unique curve in relation to maternal age. Interestingly, the curve showed a lower risk for women less than 20 years and at 40 years.
这项研究旨在估计苏丹妇女流产的发生率、母亲年龄和其他风险因素。2019 年 2 月至 12 月，在苏丹喀土穆的 Saad Abuelela 三级医院进行了一项横断面研究。收集了社会人口学、产科和临床数据。进行了多变量逻辑回归分析。413 名（20.5%）妇女报告曾经历过流产。风险因素包括年龄较大、多胎次、剖宫产史和肥胖。逻辑回归显示，20 岁以下（调整后的优势比 [AOR]，0.33）或 20 至 24 岁（AOR，0.57）、初产妇（AOR，0.42）和受教育程度低于中学的妇女（AOR，0.78）的风险最低。与全球与年龄相关的流产风险不同，苏丹妇女的流产风险与母亲年龄有关，呈独特的曲线。有趣的是，该曲线显示 20 岁以下和 40 岁的女性风险较低。
