aMiscarriage was defined as spontaneous loss of a pregnancy less than 24 weeks of gestation; the median gestational age at miscarriage was 6.0 weeks (interquartile range, 6–7) in the rhG-CSF and 6.5 weeks (interquartile range, 6–9) in the placebo group. There were three pregnancies of unknown location in the rhG-CSF group.
bThe end point is listed per neonate.
