Seventy-seven patients applying for abortion during early pregnancy consented to be treated by prostaglandin vaginal suppositories or vacuum aspiration by Kahrman catheter in a random design. They also consented to participate in an acceptability study of the two procedures. Attitude and preference measures were obtained by interviewing and rating scales on three occasions: before assignment to abortion procedure, immediately after treatment, and two weeks later. The first 30 patients with complete abortion by either procedure participated in the acceptability study. Both treatments were positively evaluated but perceived to have very different characteristics. The preference for the method used for own treatment increased in both groups. Before treatment 1/3 of the patients in each group had a positive attitude to a self-administered method to induce abortion outside clinics. This proportion increased significantly after treatment but only in the group that received prostaglandin by the vaginal route.

PIP: 77 women in the 5th to 8th week of pregnancy who applied for abortion were treated with prostaglandin vaginal suppositories or vacuum aspiration in a randomized design in order to explore this new nonsurgical method in comparison with the vacuum aspiration procedure. The vaginal suppositories were given on 4 occasions at 3-hour intervals. Vacuum aspiration was performed with a Kahrman catheter, size 5 or 6. Observations were obtained for each patient immediately prior to the 1st appointment with the gynecologist, on the day of abortion before the patient returned home after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment when the patient returned for the gynecological examination. Vacuum aspiration and vaginal administration were equally effective in the group of 77 patients. All patients but 1 woman in the vacuum aspiration group aborted as a result of the treatment. Abortion was complete in 95% of cases for vacuum aspiration and 93% for vaginal administration of prostaglandin. The patients also agreed to participate in an acceptability study of the 2 procedures. Attitude and preference measures were obtained by interviewing and rating scales on the same 3 occasions as other observations were obtained. The first 30 patients with complete abortion by either procedure participated in the acceptability study. Both treatments were positively evaluated but perceived to have different characteristics. The preference for the method used for own treatment increased in both groups. Before treatment 1/3 of the women in each group had positive attitude to a self-administered method to induce abortion outside clinics. This proportion increased significantly following treatment but only in the group that received prostaglandin by the vaginal route.
