Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of domestic and sexual violence and to characterize the association between exposure to domestic and sexual violence and low uptake of gynecological care, in the context of induced abortion.

Results: A total of 103 women were included in the study during induced abortion care.

- - The study aimed to investigate the link between domestic and sexual violence and the low rate of gynecological consultations among pregnant women in Paris between October 2021 and October 2022.
- - A total of 405 pregnant women participated, with the case group being women who hadn’t had a gynecological consultation in the past two years, and the control group made up of those who had.
- - Results indicated that a history of intimate partner violence (OR 2.13) and sexual violence (OR 1.92) significantly increased the likelihood of not having a consultation, emphasizing the need for violence screening during gynecological visits.
Article Synopsis
- The objective of the guidelines is to standardize the pelvic clinical exam for gynecology and obstetrics, ensuring practices are evidence-based.
- A committee of 45 experts, including patient representatives, developed these guidelines independently, focusing on high-quality recommendations using the GRADE® system.
- They formulated 40 questions into a PICO format, yielding 27 recommendations, with differing levels of agreement, while highlighting the need for more research in areas lacking evidence.
