“…27 Despite an apparent higher parity of mothers in the TOP-group, this difference did not reach significance, underlining conflicting results in earlier studies. 31 In our cohort, the survival rate was 49% (137/278) in the entire study population, 64% (137/215) in all continued pregnancies, and 70% (137/195) in all live born cases receiving active postnatal management. These different survival rates reflect the hidden mortality when only the survival rate in live born cases is reported.…”

Objective To evaluate the incidence of termination of pregnancies (TOP) and factors associated with the decision for TOP in prenatally detected congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Study Design Single‐centre retrospective cohort includes all prenatally detected CDH cases born between January 2009 and December 2021. Parental factors, such as parity, and fetal characteristics, such as disease severity, were collected. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data. Differences between terminated and continued pregnancies were analysed. Results The study population consisted of 278 prenatally detected CDH cases of which 80% detected <24 weeks of gestation. The TOP rate was 28% in cases that were detected <24 weeks of gestation. Twenty continued pregnancies resulted in either intrauterine fetal demise (n = 6), preterm birth <24 weeks (n = 2), or comfort care after birth (n = 12). The survival rate was 70% in the remaining 195 live born cases. Factors associated with the decision for TOP were additional fetal genetic or anatomical abnormalities (p < 0.0001) and expected severity of pulmonary hypoplasia in left‐sided CDH (p = 0.0456). Conclusion The decision to terminate a pregnancy complicated by fetal CDH depends on the severity of pulmonary hypoplasia and the presence of additional abnormalities. This emphasises the importance of early referral to expertise centres for detailed evaluation and multidisciplinary counselling.

“…Face to face interview 36-41,44 and application of a self-administered questionnaire 31-33,35,43 in queries about illegal abortion were the most common reported data collection method respectively. The study’s findings have also revealed that married 25-27,31,33,35,38,39,41,43 and unemployed women 25-27,29,35,37,38,40,43,44 of 26-30 years old age group 35-38,41,42 with 1-2 children 9,13,16,19,25,31,34,35,37,41,43 and low socioeconomic backgrounds 7,13,16,17,21,27,38,39,40,42 were the most typical illegal abortion seekers in the included studies. The observed partial inconsistency in the attributes of the abortees in the quoted studies; however, may reflect inherent cultural differences regarding pre-marital sexual relationship, out of wedding pregnancies or aberrant methodologies used.…”

Background: There are contrasting debates about abortions and prohibitory regulations posed serious public health challenges especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. Due to paucity of the empirical evidences this study was conducted to explore the existent cumulative knowledge with special focus on the applied methodology. Methods: A comprehensive review of published articles from January 1995 to December 2015 was performed. Several databases including: Embase, PubMed, Cochrane and also databasesof the Iranian medical journals were searched using combinations of relevant Medical Subject Headings (MeSH terms) and their equivalents, i.e., induced abortion, embryotomy, criminal abortion and illegal abortion. The STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement for appraisal of the cross-sectional studies and Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist for the qualitative reports were utilized. After removal of duplicates and irrelevant publications 36 articles remained for data analysis. Results: A wide heterogeneity was observed in the utilized methodology with no standard data collection tool. Face to face interview and self-administered questionnaire were the most common reported data collection/tool respectively. Married and unemployed women of 26-30 years old age group with low socioeconomic backgrounds were the most typical illegal abortees in the included studies. Conclusion: Despite limitation in accessing all relevant publications and including only those reports written in English or Persian languages, the accumulated knowledge might be applicable to develop a potentially inclusive data collection tool and hence, improve the quality of data collection and/or application of a more robust study design in future investigations.

“…As for the characteristics of women undergoing abortion, a number of previous studies pointed out that abortion seekers tend to be single, young, poor, and with lower level education, and previous pregnancy history including live births and abortions. 4 , 5 On the other hand, a study in the United Kingdom concluded that there is no difference between women who are having abortions and those who are not. 6 In Vietnam, there have been few quantitative researches on abortion seekers, especially nulliparous women whose fertility can be affected by complications of abortion.…”

A case-control study was conducted between July and August 2001 in Ho Chi Minh City to investigate factors associated with having induced abortions among primigravid women aged 16 to 38 years. Interviews were conducted with 87 women undergoing abortion (cases) and 81 pregnant women coming for antenatal care (controls). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that older age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.84) and being married (OR = 0.05) decreased the risk of getting unintended pregnancy leading to abortion. Risk factors of obtaining an abortion were not being exposed to family planning promotion on television (OR = 2.28) and not knowing the adverse effects of abortion (OR = 10.26). Descriptive analysis of contraceptive behavior showed that 41% of cases had never used contraceptives and the reason for non-usage was lack of knowledge of any type of contraceptives in 43% of the cases. Additionally, only 24% of cases had discussed about family planning with their partners. Effective contraceptive methods should be promoted among young population, both females and males, and they need to be informed of the consequences of abortion. Television programs might be an effective mode of providing the information.
