Talk:Lithopedion

message: "Stone babies are rare, occurring in only 0.0045 percent (1 in 22,000) of pregnancies. Fewer than 300 cases have been noted in medical literature accumulated over some 400 years."
By my calculations that's suggesting there's only been about six and half million pregnancies (22000 x 300) observed by the medical profession in the last four hundred years, which is staggeringly short of the mark considering about one hundred and thirty million births (global pop. over mean birth rate) occurred in 2005 alone.  Although I'm not suggesting all would have been observed, even recording the outcome of a single percent of those births would have beaten that figure twice over in a single year.  I'm sure I could rustle up a more accurate ratio, but there's little point as it'd be original research (shock! horror!).  I'll just lop the incidence figures off of the main article instead.  ◄ИΞШSΜΛЯΞ► 21:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Putting that much text into a narrow table column seems silly. Perhaps using subsections would be better when the number of cases is so low.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.166.105.247 (talk) 12:44, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely.  Now that I've seen this page, I've noted down that it needs some reformatting.  Probably that bullets would be better, or just normal prose paragraphs... 76.10.128.192 (talk) 08:19, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

message: The ICD codes added today are from chapters intended to code the fetus' episode. It would not be expected to see them on the mother's spell, and she would need different codes. However I need to read the article more thoroughly before adding. (Likely to be  and  from reading just the lead). Little pob (talk) 12:48, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like all is needed is the "missed abortion" code—so have added this. Wanted to indicate that the code would be dependent on whether you were looking at the mother or the fetus, and have hopefully done so. Note for researchers; I'm not sure which regions globally generate a spell for the fetus - check with your local coding team. Little pob (talk) 15:40, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Just want to point out that miscarriages are a complete and valid existence [Edit:] If you mean there have only been six and a half million births, rather than pregnancies, then your data would be more accurate. But there is one problem. You are multiplying by exactly 300, rather than the exact number of births. So if you are looking for a rough estimate, then yes, there have been about six and a half million births, according to your calculations. (By the way, I'm a middle schooler in 2024, and you were likely older than I am when you wrote your response box in 2006. Given these stats, I would guess you are currently around the age of 35 - 60. So. You've been bested by Gen. Alpha :]) - Anonymous 2603:7080:D73D:F900:9777:8D4A:650C:DBC8 (talk) 01:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
