Summary:

This is a case-control study investigating whether maternal lifestyle risk factors including mobile phone and computer use are associated with threatened miscarriage. In the study self-reported duration of mobile phone and computer use per day is compared between 154 cases (women presenting with threatened miscarriage in the 5th to 10th weeks of gestation) and 264 controls. There were statistically significant associations between mobile phone and computer use and threatened miscarriage; for mobile phone use of more than 2 hours/day the OR was 6.32 (95% CI 2.71 – 14.75) and for computer use of more than 4 hours/day the OR was 6.03 (95% CI 2.82 – 12.88). The authors conclude that mobile phone and computer use could be related to threatened miscarriage.
