title: [Pelvic inflammation after induced abortion].
abstract: A total of 949 women referred for legal termination of pregnancy in the first trimester participated in an investigation to assess the risk of pelvic inflammation in connection with the intervention in women with and without previous pelvic inflammation in connection with previous pregnancies, the gestational age and the clinical experience of the surgeon. Women who had not borne children developed pelvic inflammation more frequently after legal termination of pregnancy (p < 0.01) than women who had previously borne children. Women with previous pelvic inflammation developed renewed pelvic inflammation, if they had not previously borne children (p < 0.01) or if they had previously undergone legal termination of pregnancy (p < 0.05). Women without previous pelvic inflammation developed pelvic inflammation significantly more frequently, if they had not previously been pregnant (p < 0.05). The occurrence of pelvic inflammation was independent of the gestational age and the clinical experience of the surgeon.
