Lint: trauma-in-pregnancy

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Placental abruption is classified according to the site: marginal (most common), retro-placental and pre-placental. On CT, findings suggestive of placental abruption are a heterogeneous placenta with areas of non-enhancement. Placental abruption is not a straightforward diagnosis, and CT can result in both false-negatives and false-positives. It can be difficult to determine whether focal placental thickening is from a retroplacental clot, is a normal placenta, or myometrial contraction. Grading of traumatic abruption on CT is of prognostic benefit, using the traumatic abruption placenta scale (TAPS) 6."

Line 40:112 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-placental.'.
