  "abstract": "Objective (Occupational) physicians are increasingly confronted with questions surrounding (early) pregnancy and work. This systematic review aims to summarize current evidence on occupational risks (long and irregular working times, physically demanding work, jobstrain) and miscarriage. Furthermore, with this review it is our aim to contribute to uniform guidelines for safer workplace practices and to advocate for policies that protect pregnant workers, ultimately reducing the risk of spontaneous abortion attributable to work-related factors.Material and Methods The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for studies up until April 2025. Primary studies in which occupational risk factors were assessed in relation to miscarriage were included. Two independent reviewers selected eligible studies and assessed the quality of the included studies. The association between occupational risks and miscarriage was assessed by calculating odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals using a random-effects model.Results Results are to follow.Conclusions Although the existing evidence is still limited, this systematic review shows that pregnant woman who work in various unfavourable circumstances, for example shift work, may have an increased risk of miscarriage.",
