Risks of Miscarriage and Multiple Births Associated With Fertility Care
Janet Choi, M.D., discusses patient cost burden for fertility care and factors that may help reduce preterm births and miscarriages.
This is a video synopsis/summary of a Population Health Perspectives® involving Janet Choi, M.D.
The video emphasizes how coverage restrictions impede millions from realizing parenthood dreams and strain mental health and workplace productivity. Without comprehensive benefits, patients enter a scarcity mindset overriding clinical partnership. Anxious to minimize expenses, they may choose cheaper, less effective treatments entailing more failures before success. Resulting pregnancies risk higher multiples with associated preterm delivery, miscarriage and health complications. In contrast, Choi’s outcomes data reveal robust coverage improves results, with 17% higher in vitro fertilization pregnancy rates, 27% higher live birth rates, 14% fewermiscarriages and 72% fewer multiple pregnancies than national averages. Such verified statistics build a strong case that equitable access to fertility care enhances population health. Removing financial roadblocks allows patients to focus fully on safe family-building.
