Abstract

Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is safer and more effective than labor induction for uterine evacuation of patients withsecond-trimester intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD). Patients with IUFD are at higher risk of complications, including hemorrhage and disseminated intravascularcoagulation (DIC), compared to patients undergoing D&E for other indications.

We aimed to describe outcomes, rates of complications, and associated risk factors for patients undergoing D&E for IUFD at our institution.
