Out-patient intravaginal misoprostol versus in-patient intravaginal misoprostol for the treatment of first trimester incomplete miscarriage in UKMMC: a randomised controlled trial.

A prospective randomised controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary medical center on 154 patients for the treatment of spontaneous first trimester incomplete miscarriage. The intervention group (n=77) received out-patient administration of misoprostol whereas the control group (n=77) received in-...
