This trial compared the termination of early pregnancy (amenorrhoea less than 43 days) by 600 mg orally of the antiprogesteron Mifepristone to the traditional method of vacuum aspiration. Fifty women were randomly assigned to either of the treatments. All the patients treated with vacuum aspiration had a complete abortion. Three of these patients developed pelvic inflammatory diseasae (PID) after the aspiration. Another patient had the uterus perforated during the procedure, and an emergency laparotomy had to be performed. The patients in the evacuation group spent more days in bed and needed longer sick leave after the treatment than the patients in the Mifepristone group. In the Mifepristone group, six patients had incomplete abortions and all were treated by evacuation. Three of the patients developed PID after the evacuation. A decrease of 40% or more in beta hCG from the initial value to the value 1 week later were invariably associated with complete abortion. In both groups the changes in hemoglobin were insignificant and no patients needed blood transfusion or emergency evacuation. The Mifepristone treatment is a simple and safe alternative to vacuum aspiration for termination of early pregnancies.
