First dose of misoprostol administration at home or in hospital for medical abortion between 12–22 gestational weeks in Sweden (PRIMA): a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial

Medical abortion after 12 gestational weeks often requires a stay in hospital. We hypothesised that administering the first misoprostol dose at home could increase day-care procedures as compared with overnight care procedures, shorten inpatient stays, and improve patient satisfaction.
