The rate of IUA was 1.5 per 10,000 medically-induced abortions and 2.0 cases per 10,000 surgically-induced abortions (P = 0.19). In a subgroup analysis, surgical treatment of the remaining products of conception following abortion significantly increased the risk of IUA (odds ratio, 5.50; P = 0.012).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These results suggest that trauma to a recently pregnant uterus is an important risk factor for IUA,&#8221; the authors write.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/wol1\/doi\/10.1111\/1471-0528.15216\/abstract\" target=\"_new\">Abstract\/Full Text (subscription or payment may be required)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
