Suboptimal compliance with periconceptual folic acid in an Irish hospital population.
Awareness of and compliance with periconceptual folate was measured by questionnaire in our antenatal and infertility populations. Awareness was somewhat better in the private antenatal and infertility patients, but compliance was universally very poor. A substantial proportion of pregnancies were planned, and therefore there is potential for a much higher level of compliance.
