pregnancy loss does not contribute to "population health" #1881

Description

@joehcollins

Pregnancy loss at any stage (include intrapartum (very late) stillbirth) does not contribute to the burden of "ill-health" within the population at present. This aligns with the methodology of the GBD in which there are no YLLs ascribed to pregnancy loss.

It would be helpful to update the functionality in the health burden module in order to optionally captures YLLs associated with (non-induced) pregnancy loss from a given time point (12-weeks/28 weeks). These outputs would be useful for economic evaluations of intervention scale up for mothers which impact fertility.
