The protocol is based on that published by Ashok <jats:italic>et\u00a0al<\/jats:italic>. in Aberdeen.<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#b1\"><jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup><\/jats:ext-link><\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Aims:\u2002<\/jats:bold> To describe the use of mifepristone prior to misoprostol induction of labour for mid\u2010trimester termination and to compare outcomes with the published data.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> A retrospective audit of prospectively collected notes for 272 women presenting for mid\u2010trimester termination of pregnancy in a hospital termination clinic. Data collection included age, ethnicity, previous pregnancies, gestational age, induction\u2010to\u2010abortion interval, analgesia, and complications. Data were entered into an Access database and imported into Excel and Epi Info for the computation of descriptive statistics.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Data on completed abortion were available for 271 women (one chose not to continue the abortion following mifepristone). The median time to abortion was 6\u00a0h, and mean number of doses of misoprostol was three. The proportion of women who aborted within 24\u00a0h was 95.9%. Immediate surgical evacuation of retained placenta was required in 22 women (8.1%). Heavy bleeding occurred in 22 women (8.1%), and seven required a transfusion (2.6%). The proportion of women who required parenteral narcotics was 78.2%.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Outcomes for women in the present review were comparable with those for previous publications using the same regimen, with the exception of a higher transfusion rate. Our experience supports the finding that the use of mifepristone as pretreatment to misoprostol results in a shorter induction\u2010to\u2010delivery interval than the use of misoprostol alone as has been reported by other groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1479-828x.2006.00646.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,14]],"date-time":"2006-11-14T11:10:02Z","timestamp":1163502602000},"page":"479-485","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Mifepristone\u2010 and misoprostol\u2010induced mid\u2010trimester termination of pregnancy: A review of 272 cases"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Sally B.","family":"ROSE","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carol","family":"SHAND","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ann","family":"SIMMONS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2003.09.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","unstructured":"Abortion Supervisory Committee.Report of the Abortion Supervisory Committee 2005.
