Ultrasound Procedure Codes Enable Timely Surveillance of Ongoing Pregnancies: A Nationwide Population‐Based Register Study
The high attendance rate of at least one routine ultrasound examination during pregnancy (96.1%) in 2022-2023 confirms the reliability of trimester-specific ultrasound codes as an indicator for ongoing pregnancies. This provides valuable data for timely assessment of interventions targeting pregnant women, before information is available in birth registries.
