title: [Late abortions in the county of Northern Jutland].
abstract: Applications for termination of pregnancy beyond 12 weeks have been evaluated for the period 1992-1993 in the County of Northern Jutland. During this period the number of abortions performed later than 12 weeks of pregnancy has been reduced compared to the findings in 1986, while the total number of abortions performed in the county is unchanged. Abortions allowed on genetic indications have increased by 100% a year. Young women below 20 years of age still represent one third of late applicants for abortion. The amount of errors committed by doctors contributing to late applications shows a decreasing tendency. The use of ultrasonic scanning is increasing.
