The development of a post-abortion family plan is an integral part of comprehensive abortion care. In spite of this, it received insufficient attention as a means of breaking the cycle of repeated abortions, unintended pregnancies, and maternal deaths resulting from abortion. Therefore, this study examined post abortion modern contraceptive utilization among Ethiopian women as well as associated factors. The study was based on secondary data analysis of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016 data. A total weighted sample of 1236 reproductive age women was included. A multilevel mixed-effect binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify the significant associated factors of post abortion contraceptive use. Statistical significance was determined using Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval. Overall prevalence of post abortion contraceptive use was observed to be 25.6% (95% CI: 23.24, 28.12). Women's age 15-24 (AOR = 2.34; 95% CI: 1.11, 4.93), and 25-34 (AOR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.27, 2.98), married women (AOR = 2.6; 95% CI: 1.43, 4.96), women who had 1-4 (AOR = 4.13; 95% CI: 1.79, 9.57) and ≥ 5 number of children (AOR = 8.80; 95% CI: 3.30, 13.49), Being in metropolitan region (AOR = 9.14; 95% CI: 1.79, 12.48), women being in urban area (AOR = 1.85; 95% CI: 1.32, 2.24), and community media exposure (AOR = 1.75; 95% CI: 1.11, 3.56) were associated with post abortion modern contraceptive use. Post abortion modern contraceptive use in this study was low. Women age, current marital status, number of living children, residency, community media exposure, and region were significantly associated with post abortion modern contraceptive utilization. Therefore, it is better to provide ongoing health information about post-abortion family planning and its benefits, especially for people who live in rural and small peripheral regions, and public health policymakers should take both individual and community level factors into account when designing family planning programmes.

Background: Abortion-related complications significantly contribute to maternal morbidity and mortality globally. Post-abortion care (PAC) services are essential to safeguarding women's rights by substantially mitigating the health risks associated with abortions - a step which is fundamental to achieving reproductive and maternal health-related Sustainable Development Goals.
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the nationally representative Service Provision Assessment (SPA) surveys conducted between 2015 and 2024 across three regions in seven low- and middle-income countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Senegal, and Haiti.

Background: Abortion-related complications are difficult to measure due to lack of standardized definitions and limited available data. We describe the proportion of abortive events that result in a documented complication in Mexico's public sector hospitals.
Methods: We used ICD-10 codes from Mexico's hospital discharge system (2018-2022), Subsistema Automatizado de Egresos Hospitalarios (SAEH), to describe abortive events admitted to hospitals: complications for excessive bleeding, infection, embolism, and unspecified; patient socio-demographic and clinical characteristics; and municipality-level structural vulnerability.
Utility of manual vacuum aspiration followed by curettage in the treating hydatidiform mole: A retrospective analysis.

Aim: While manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is commonly employed for early first-trimester abortions, its effectiveness in treating hydatidiform mole is still unclear. This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MVA in comparison to dilation and curettage (D&C) for managing hydatidiform mole.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of medical records for 198 patients with hydatidiform mole treated at Nagoya University Hospital between 2004 and 2023.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, accuracy, and effectiveness of embryoscopy for the management of early abortion and to test the hypothesis that targeted embryo and chorionic villi sampling avoids maternal cell contamination (MCC) for genetic testing of products of conception (POC).
Methods: This ambispective study included 74 consecutive patients presenting with early abortion. Gestations between 5 and 9 weeks, obtained either spontaneously or through assisted reproductive technologies were included.
