Abstract
Background and Aim: The most undesirable consequence of pregnancy is intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) which causes a lot of emotional and medical distress for which medical induction of labor, by routinely used prostaglandins, is recommended. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to determine the management of IUFD using misoprostol alone and mifepristone-misoprostol combination. Materials and Methods: The study included 57 women of gestational age >24 weeks with IUFD, who were divided into two groups. Women between 24–34 and >34 weeks of gestation received 200 μg and 100 μg of misoprostol, respectively. Group A received misoprostol alone and Group B received oral mifepristone (200 mg), 24 h prior to receiving misoprostol. IUFD duration, number of misoprostol doses, induction-delivery interval (IDI), and bishop score were recorded. A majority of 23 patients in Group A had a bishop score
