Abstract:
To estimate the percentage reduction of ERPCs by giving expectant care in the management
of incomplete miscarriages in first trimester and to compare main outcomes such as duration
of bleeding, duration of pain, severity of pain ,infection, level of satisfaction ,duration of
hospital stay ,injuries and costs between expectant care and surgical management(ERPC)
The two groups were comparable as there was no statistically significant difference
observed in two groups regarding mean age(p=.25),parity(p=.39),level of
education(p=.19),monthly income(p=.64),distance from hospital(p=.12),mean Hb
(p=.09),mean PCY(p=.42),mean POA(p=.59) and mean RPOC(P=.06) on admission No
infections or injuries reported in this study. Statistically significant differences were
observed in duration of bleeding (P.OO I), in expectant care over the surgical treatment
group. Duration of pain is significantly higher in the ERPC group(P.OO I). Also the pain
score is significantly higher in the ERPC group(P.OO I). Duration of hospital stay and
number of days off from normal day today activities were significantly higher in the
surgical treatment group(P.OO I ).Level of client satisfaction is not significantly different in
both treatment groups(
