The rapid emergence of nonhospital abortion facilities as alternatives to traditional hospital-based surgical care has raised important questions concerning their safety. Using 1974--1975 data from the Center for Disease Control's nationwide surveillance of abortion mortality and the Alan Guttmacher Institute's nationwide surveys of abortion providers, we have calculated the risk of death from legally induced abortion in the United States at less than or equal to 12 menstrual weeks' gestation in hospitals and nonhospital facilities (clinics and physicians' ofices). The adjusted death-to-case rate for hospitals was 1.1 deaths/100,000 abortions, compared with a crude rate of 1.0 for nonhospital facilities. The risk of death from legal abortion in nonhospital facilities is apparently similar to the risk in hospitals.
