Abstract

BACKGROUND: The model in the Specialized Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Varna is becoming more and more widespread. The medical abortion, as a means of choice for behavior in abortion on medical indications, in hospital conditions, after the opinion of the commission to a hospital institution with a profile of specialty gynecology, and in case of abortion on request in hospital or pre-hospital medical activity. In Europe, this model has been in place for 30 years, and clinical experience shows that complications and mortality are many times lower than with surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Conducted own survey for the period January 2021-July 2023 of 37 patients who went through a pregnancy termination committee on medical grounds. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: About 89.2% of cases have a positive opinion of the commission in the hospital structure. Patients with higher education had better outpatient follow-up (χ2 = 12,662, p = 0.002). The greatest effectiveness is the three-fold administration of a drug regimen between 6 and 12 h (χ2 = 74,000, p = 0.000) and the gestation period of 12–20 g.w. (χ2 = 38.858, p = 0.025), and single drug administration during pregnancy (8–13 g.w.) (χ2 = 30.537, p = 0.006) and effect up to the 6th h (χ2 = 8.133, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: The choice of a method of medical behavior is the result of a complex approach with regard to a number of factors related to pregnancy, general somatic status, and carried out diagnostic activities. An applied therapeutic approach reduces hospital costs, and the patient has a quick recovery period. Early and timely diagnosis and outpatient follow-up of patients in pre-hospital care are important informative values.
