| Abstract:
Background: Termination of pregnancy in the second trimester using prostaglandins has been shown to be safe and effective. Misoprostol has multiple routes of administration; oral, vaginal, buccal, rectal and sublingual. Objective: The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of intrauterine extra-amniotic and vaginal misoprostol in a dose of 200 microgram every 4 hours for the termination of pregnancy in cases of second trimester miscarriage. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized open labeled clinical trial included 180 women with missed miscarriage in gestational age between 13 and 24 wks. Patients were randomized to receive subsequent doses of 200 μ g misoprostol every 4 hrs either intra uterine extra-amniotic by Foley catheter or vaginally administered. Randomization was completed using a computer-generated random table. The primary outcome of this study was the mean duration from the initial misoprostol dose until complete fetal expulsion (induction-expulsion interval). Results: The mean gestational age was 17. 74 wks. The mean time to complete miscarriage in the intra uterine extra-amniotic group was 5. 27 hrs, which was significantly lower than the vaginal group (9. 92 hrs, p=0. 001). Side effects were more common in vaginal group. Conclusion: Intra uterine extra-amniotic misoprostol with a dose of 200 μ g every 4 hrs appears to be more effective and safer than vaginal misoprostol in induction of second trimester miscarriage.
