          Abstract

          Objetivo. Identificar características sociodemográficas y su fuerza de asociación con el aborto inducido del primer embarazo. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio analítico con la información de una encuesta realizada en el municipio Diez de Octubre, de la ciudad de La Habana, en Cuba, durante todo el año de 1991 y el primer semestre de 1992. La población de estudio se dividió en dos grupos de comparación: uno formado por las mujeres cuyo primer embarazo terminó en un aborto inducido y el otro constituido por aquellas cuyo embarazo llegó a término. De las variables estudiadas que mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas se obtuvieron las razones de momios crudas y ajustadas por la variable que se consideró como confusora: la edad. Para esta última fase del análisis se utilizó la regresión logística multivariada. Resultados. Las características sociodemográficas identificadas como factores de riesgo asociados al aborto inducido del primer embarazo fueron la edad menor de 24 años (aunque el riesgo se incrementa en las menores de 20 años) y ser solteras o unidas. Conclusiones. El riesgo de recurrir a la práctica del aborto inducido en el primer embarazo es elevado en mujeres muy jóvenes que aún no han cumplido sus expectativas profesionales, laborales y relacionadas con el matrimonio. Estas razones parecen incompatibles con la maternidad en el grupo de mujeres estudiadas.

          Objective. To identify sociodemographic characteristics associated with induced abortion of the first pregnancy and quantify the strength of association between them. Material and methods. Data were gathered from a survey conducted in the district of Diez de Octubre, Havana, Cuba throughout 1991 and the beginning of 1992. The study population was divided into two comparable groups: one group of women whose first pregnancy terminated in induced abortion and a second group of women whose pregnancy terminated in childbirth. For the variables with statistically significant differences, both the crude and adjusted odds ratio were obtained for the one potentially confounding factor: age. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed in the final stage. Results. The sociodemographic characteristic identified as risk factor for induced abortion during the first pregnancy is being younger than 24 years of age, a risk which increased with women who were less than 20 years old, whether single or in union. Conclusions. Recurrence risk of induced abortion during the first pregnancy is higher in younger women who have not achieved their professional, working or marrying expectations. This situation seem to be incompatible with maternity in the studied group.

          The use of misoprostol for termination of early pregnancy.

          Misoprostol is a prostaglandin analogue with uterotonic properties. A group of 141 women with less than 70 days of pregnancy received up to 3 doses of 800 micrograms of misoprostol every 48 hr. Failure was defined as the need for surgical abortion and success as the complete expulsion of the products of conception pharmacologically. In total, 132 cases (93.6%, 95% CI 89.4-97.8) aborted pharmacologically and 9 cases (6.4%) failed. The decrease in hemoglobin was statistically significant (p = 0.001) but without clinical repercussions; before treatment: 11.95 mg/dI (SD 1.19) and after: 11.14 (SD 1.20). Statistically significant differences were not noticed between success rates and failures in relation to gravidity, parity, previous abortions, race, or age, but were noticed with a gestation upwards of 9 weeks (p = 0.01). The third dose of misoprostol showed very little efficacy. The convenience of using more frequent doses and shortening the treatment, combined with different routes of administration, are discussed.
