摘要
PGE1 analogue (gemeprost) vaginal pessaries administered three hourly for three doses has been compared with a single extra- or intra-amniotic injection of PGE2 for mid-trimester termination of pregnancy in 450 women between 13 and 20 weeks gestation. The mean (SD) induction-abortion interval (IAI) in the vaginal pessary group of 19.5 (8.4) h was significantly longer than the respective intervals of 14.4 (9.3) and 16.1 (6.8) h in the patients treated extra- or intra-amniotically (P < 0.001). Seventy-three percent treated with gemeprost aborted within 24 h of initial treatment compared with 84% and 87%, respectively in the extra- and intra-amniotic groups (P < 0.05). Patients treated with gemeprost were more likely to need further prostaglandin treatment and had an increased incidence of gastrointestinal side effects. Despite these differences vaginal gemeprost pessaries provide a safe, effective, easy to administer method for midtrimester termination of pregnancy.
