Incomplete miscarriages and missed miscarriages had similar outcomes: 47.1% (8\/17) and 46.7% (79\/169) respectively. Expectant management following failed medical management showed higher complete miscarriage rate (81.5%, 22\/27) in comparison with repeat medical management (47.6%, 20\/42) (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.005).
