Popis: pregnancy within 1 year was documented in 34.3% of patients with an average time from pregnancy loss to conception of 141.6 70.1 days. Of those that were compliant with follow up, 31% experienced repeat pregnancy within 1 year compared to 36.4% of those that did not comply with follow up, although this was not statistically significant (p1⁄40.64). Incidence of rapid repeat pregnancy did not differ based on age, gravity, parity, race, type of insurance, diagnosis, or contraception plan. Conclusions: Compliance with ED follow up from first trimester pregnancy loss among this urban adolescent population was poor and rapid repeat pregnancy rates were high. Poor compliance with follow up was associated with higher rates of repeat pregnancy within 1 year although the sample size was not large enough to show a statistically significant difference. The high rates of rapid repeat pregnancy following first trimester loss in the urban adolescent population is evidence that greater effort in providing resources for follow up and contraception to these young women after an ED encounter is of critical importance.
