The dependent variables were the use of MVA and MA with misoprostol. The independent variables were the patients\u2019 clinical and sociodemographic data. The Cochran\u2013Armitage, chi-square, and Mann\u2013Whitney U tests, as well as multiple logistic regression analysis, were used to compare uterine evacuation methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec004\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We enrolled 474 women in the study, 91.35% of whom underwent uterine evacuation via uterine curettage (78.75%), MVA (9.46%), or MA (11.54%). MVA use increased during the study period (Z = 9.85, p &lt; 0.001). Admission in 2020 (odds ratio [OR] 64.22; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.79\u20131086.69) and lower gestational age (OR 0.837; 95% CI 0.724\u20130.967) were independently associated with MVA, whereas the only factor independently associated with MA was a higher education level (OR 2.66; 95% CI 1.30\u20135.46).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec005\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>MVA use increased following the installation of a surveillance network for good clinical practice.
