- Abstract
This article, titled "Sequence of events leading to medical abortion for fetal indications after 34 weeks of gestation: 23-years experience from a single medical centre," presents a retrospective study conducted over a 23-year period on fetal abortions in singleton pregnancies. The study found that 0.88% of abortions were carried out after 34 weeks of gestation, with anatomical indications accounting for 55% of cases, chromosomal or genetic indications accounting for 39% of cases, and other indications accounting for the remaining cases. The study suggests that earlier diagnosis and adherence to screening tests and protocols could have significantly reduced the rate of late abortions.
