Affiliated Hospital of Zhengjiang Medical College.

Sodium prasterone sulfate was used before termination of mid-trimester pregnancy in 50 cases, and another 50 cases taking no drug as the control group. Both groups were given intraamniotic rivanol. In the treatment group, the results indicated that the Bishop score was elevated by 1 to 8. There were an effective rate of 86% and satisfactory rate of 98%. In comparison, the control group showed 40% (P < 0.001) and 76% (P < 0.01) respectively, and there was significant difference between the 2 groups. The average induction-abortion time interval was 13.2 hours shorter in treatment group (P < 0.01). Adverse effects such as nausea or fatigue was only seen occasionally.
