Abstract

Recurrent miscarriage is defined as the loss of two or more pregnancies, or three or more pregnancies in some countries. Guidelines for recurrent miscarriage have been published by some professional organisations to inform clinical practice. In Ireland, at the time of writing, there is no guideline for recurrent miscarriage. This paper sets out how we will conduct a systematic review to identify, appraise and describe published clinical guidelines for the management, investigation and/or follow-up of RM within high-income countries. This review will be a valuable first step in informing efforts to promote the optimisation and standardisation of recurrent miscarriage care.
