Description
Ravit Pertez-Machluf and colleagues ask, in a 2026 retrospective study, whether a past cesarean birth predicts failure of drug treatment for first-trimester miscarriage. Records covered 716 patients treated with mifepristone and misoprostol at a major center between 2019 and 2022, comparing those whose treatment completed against those needing further intervention.
Treatment failed in just under thirty percent. A prior cesarean nearly doubled the adjusted odds of failure, and each extra day of pregnancy age added a little risk. Failure rates ran higher still in the cesarean subgroup analysis. Among women without a cesarean history and earlier pregnancies, bleeding during treatment oddly marked lower failure. Counselors can now give cesarean-scarred patients a more honest estimate before choosing drug treatment.
