Abstract
A statistical analysis has been made of 301 therapeutic abortions performed at the Chicago Lying-in Hospital over a fifteen-year period. These data were compared with similar data from the preceding eight years. The total time is from the opening of the present Chicago Lying-in Hospital on May 25, 1931, up to June 30, 1954.Comments on the indications and technical methods have been given. An attempt has been made to designate changes in the indications as well as in the procedures. In 69 per cent of the cases the results have been adjudged satisfactory. Only 12.6 per cent of the group had an unsatisfactory outcome. The remaining percentage of patients did not return. Thus the procedures were properly chosen, for by critical appraisal the outstandingly favorable results speak for themselves. It is obvious that the future will witness changes in indications and management as medical science advances.
