چکیده
1. Abdella A. 1996. Demographic characteristics, socioeconomic profile and contraceptive behaviour in patients with abortion at Jimma Hospital, Ethiopia. East Afr Med J. Vol. 73(10): 660-664. • This is a hospital-based study of women admitted for post-abortion care (PAC) in 1992-1993. 53% of the cases were induced abortions (using the WHO definition of “definite induced”) while 47% were spontaneous abortions. Women with induced abortions were younger (66% were under age 25) than spontaneously aborting women (53%). • 71 % of women with induced abortions had secondary education, 31% were students, 49% were unmarried (whereas 89% of the spontaneous-abortion women were married). Also, 67% of these women were of parity zero or one, and 69% had had a previous abortion (whereas only 16% of women with spontaneous abortions had had a previous abortion). • This study looked at all “abortion admissions” to the obstetric/gynecology department of Jimma Hospital (Jimma is a major town located 340km from Addis) over one year. Of 646 cases (24% of all admissions), 285 women were interviewed. The study does not indicate how these women were selected.
