Summary

The aim of this work is to assess the effectiveness and safety of Ulipristal Acetate in the management of 2nd trimester missed abortion along with misoprostol in pregnant women with previous caesarean section versus the use of misoprostol only with placebo as regards the time needed for abortion,Hypothesis: In pregnant women with 2nd trimester missed abortion with previous caesarean section , Ulipristal Acetate may decrease the time interval to achieve abortion when combined with Misoprostol in comparison to misoprostol alone.the included women divided to 2 groups Group A: will receive Ulipristal acetate 30mg, starting misoprostol 12 hours later 100µg every 6 hours buccal according to FIGO guidelines 2017.Group B: will receive placebo then 12 hours later start misoprostol 100µg every 6 hours buccal according to FIGO guidelines 2017. then we assess Induction-to-abortion interval time.

Conditions

  • Induction of Second Trimester Abortion

Interventions

DRUG

Ulipristal Acetate

Group A: received Ulipristal acetate 30mg, starting misoprostol 12 hours later 100µg every 6 hours buccal. Then women in had rest for 24 hours after 5 doses of misoprostol and restarted misoprostol-only in both groups with the same above regimens, repeating the same sequence for two weeks unless there was excessive bleeding or infection or uterine contractions or cervical changes. If failed, patient proceeded to hysterotomy. If patient aborted, an obstetric US was done to assess the presence of remnants in the uterine cavity. Patient with remnants of conception proceeded suction evacuation.

DRUG

Misoprostol

Group A: received Ulipristal acetate 30mg, starting misoprostol 12 hours later 100µg every 6 hours buccal.Group B: received placebo tablet of same shape , texture of that of ulipristal then 12 hours later start misoprostol 100µg every 6 hours buccal. Then women in both groups had rest for 24 hours after 5 doses of misoprostol and restarted misoprostol-only in both groups with the same above regimens, repeating the same sequence for two weeks unless there was excessive bleeding or infection or uterine contractions or cervical changes. If failed, patient proceeded to hysterotomy. If patient aborted, an obstetric US was done to assess the presence of remnants in the uterine cavity.
