Abstract:
RESEARCH QUESTION:Does extending the follow-up after misoprostol treatment for early pregnancy loss increase the success rate? DESIGN:Patients who had experienced early pregnancy loss (<12 weeks) and were treated with misoprostol in a single university-affiliated medical centre were prospectively followed before and after the implementation of a new treatment protocol extending the follow-up from 1 to 2 weeks. All patients received misoprostol 800 μg vaginally on day 1 and a second dose, when needed, on day 4 or 8. Patients underwent surgical aspiration after 1 week in the early follow-up group (n = 84) or 2 weeks in the delayed follow-up group (n = 85) if complete expulsion was not achieved (defined as endometrial thickness ≤15 mm and absence of gestational sac on transvaginal sonography). The primary outcome was treatment success, defined as no need for surgical aspiration. RESULTS:Women in the delayed follow-up group had a higher rate of successful treatment compared with women in the early follow-up group (88.2% versus 76.2%, respectively; P = 0.040), and a lower rate of second dose administration (32.9% versus 51.2%, respectively; P = 0.016). The incidence of non-expulsion of the gestational sac was also lower in the delayed follow-up group (1.2% versus 10.7%; P = 0.009). Treatment acceptability did not differ between the study groups. CONCLUSION:In women with early pregnancy loss treated with misoprostol, extending the follow-up protocol from 1 to 2 weeks resulted in an increase in treatment success.

临床试验,杂志文章abstract::During the early follicular phase in the menstrual cycle, antral follicle sizes are often markedly heterogeneous. These follicular size discrepancies may, at least in part, result from the early exposure of FSH-sensitive follicles to gradient FSH concentrations during the preceding luteal phase.
