Abstract

Standard medical abortion practice involves in-clinic follow-up to confirm abortion completion. Alternatively, negative results on a validated pregnancy test, with high predictive value, taken at home one to two weeks after medical abortion could reduce the number of follow-up visits, thus simplifying clinical practice worldwide. This study employs a semiquantitative urine pregnancy test that estimates hCG levels to assess its feasibility and acceptability for determining abortion status in lieu of clinic-based follow-up after medical abortion.
