DESIGN: A review of the total number of abortions performed by medical and surgical means between 1989 and 1995 (inclusive); a prospective survey of the terminations of pregnancy (< or = 9 weeks of gestation) performed over the six-month period of January to June 1994; and a questionnaire of the reasons why women chosen a particular method. SETTING: Large teaching hospital in Scotland. SUBJECTS: One thousand and seven women seeking early pregnancy termination between January and June 1994. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Proportion of pregnancies terminated by medical means; comparison of complete abortion rate, incidence of complications and morbidity following both medical and surgical methods (< or = 9 weeks of gestation); reasons for preference of the method of abortion. RESULTS: Since 1991 there has been a progressive increase in the number of medical abortions performed at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, and by 1994 the majority of women (57%) seeking abortion at < or = 9 weeks chose a medical method. Women who chose medical abortion had more years at full-time education and were less likely to smoke (P < 0.04). Both medical and surgical methods were highly effective (> 96% complete abortion) with a low incidence of complications and morbidity. However, women who had chosen the medical method were less likely to receive antibiotics for suspected endometritis than their surgical counterparts (chi 2, P = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: If this trend towards medical methods in Edinburgh is repeated elsewhere, it will inevitably have an impact on gynaecological services by releasing staff and operating time for other purposes. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=18494 ------>authors2=Au HK ------>authors3=Liu WM ------>authors4=Tzeng CR ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Chien LW ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=??? ------>publish_area=1 ------>updateTitle=Impact of the introduction of new medical methods on therapeutic abortions at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. ------>language=1 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=NULL ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2007 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=3 |
