Brief summary
The main aim of the investigator study is the success of predictivity cervical consistency index (CCI), anterior uterocervical angle (aUCA) and posterior uterocervical angle (pUCA) in second trimester terminations.
Detailed description
This prospective clinical study includes 136 pregnant women with a diagnosis of in utero ex fetus who were hospitalized for medical termination in the gynecology service of Health Sciences University Bursa High Specialization Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic as a single center. The participants were divided into 2 groups as those whose treatment was completed in the first 24 hours (who were completely aborted and removed the fetal material and its attachments ) and those who aborted within 24-48 hours when additional cycles were needed. Furthermore who applied to additional treatment methods were recorded (cervical balloon, hysterotomy ) during these periods. In all pregnant women; characteristic features, abortion times, doses of misoprostol used, anterior- posterior uterocervical angle, cervical length, cervical consistency indexes and gestational weeks were saved.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| success of predictivity cervical consistency index, anterior uterocervical angle and posterior uterocervical angle | 6 months | cervical consistency index (CCI), an ultrasound measurement that aims to estimate cervical softness by measuring the anteroposterior diameter of the uterine cervix before (AP) (millimeter) and at maximal compression (AP') with the vaginal ultrasound probe and calculating the ratio between the two measurements (AP'/AP × 100). Uterocervical angle (UCA) (degree):Transvaginal sonographic images showing technique of measurement of uterocervical angle. UCA was calculated as angle between two lines. The first line was drawn between internal (I) and external ostium (os) (E). The second line was drawn 3 cm parallel to the lower aspect of anterior inner uterine wall passing through the end of the first line at internal os. (in degrees) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
