- aLate miscarriages are defined as any spontaneous abortion occurring after 12 weeks and before 24 weeks of pregnancy. Late miscarriages account for 3.41 % of all live births, so these were obtained from multiplying the number of live births by 3.41 %. The number of women with late miscarriages treated at health facility was obtained by multiplying the number of women with late miscarriages as above by the percentage of women who would be treated at a health facility (see description of methodology in text)
- bSource: Live births were computed by applying the general fertility rate from the 2009 KDHS to the projected (adjusted) number of women of reproductive age from the 2012 population projections from 2009 census
- cThe multiplying factor for the percentage of women with late miscarriages who were treated at heath facilities was estimated from KDHS’s estimated rate of accessing care for 2nd trimester miscarriages
