Journal Article

I presented an article on labor induction vs dilation & evacuation for second-trimester abortion. Included in the reasons for the abortion was fetal anomalies or IUFD, intra-uterine fetal demise/death. Results from the article showed that dilation & evacuation was found to be much safer and more effective than labor induction for second-trimester abortions; labor-induction abortion was associated with higher complication rates, including retained placenta or failed labor induction at 48 hours, than did D&E.
