Abstract:
A few studies indicate that a medically-induced abortion may increase the risk of reproductive failures in a subsequent pregnancy. We identified all female residents in Denmark who had an induced abortion with no medical indication from 1999 to 2004 and who later became pregnant. The study is based upon a comparison of 2710 women who had a medically-induced abortion and 9104 who had a surgically-induced abortion. The study showed no differences between the frequency of ectopic pregnancies, spontaneous abortion, preterm birth or low birth weight in the pregnancies following the abortion.
