The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and the reasons of issuing permission for therapeutic abortion in department of forensic medicine, Kermanshah-Iran.
There were a total number of 428 applications for issuing permits. The most common reasons of issuing permit for therapeutic abortion were fetal and maternal problems, specifically cerebral abnormalities (70.8%), and anencephaly (30.3%). Furthermore, 354 (82/7%) out of 428 applications were able to get the legal permit and 17.3% of the applications did not receive permission, which was mainly due to "the lack of maternal indication". Increased knowledge of physicians and clinical personnel on indications of therapeutic abortions and related regulations would lead to the implementation of strategies which prevent void referrals to the department of forensic medicine and a better execution of therapeutic abortion law. By improving the health condition of pregnant women who seek pregnancy termination, informing them about indications of therapeutic abortions, and developing proper strategies to make pregnant women more acquainted with legal cases of abortion, we can take a significant step towards helping pregnant women and promoting their health.
本研究旨在调查伊朗克尔曼沙赫法医学系治疗性流产许可发放的患病率及原因。
共有428份发放许可的申请。治疗性流产发放许可最常见的原因是胎儿和母亲的问题,特别是脑部异常(70.8%)和无脑儿(30.3%)。此外,428份申请中有354份(82.7%)获得了合法许可,17.3%的申请未获许可,主要原因是“缺乏母亲指征”。提高医生和临床人员对治疗性流产指征及相关法规的认识,将有助于实施相关策略,防止不必要地转诊至法医学系,并更好地执行治疗性流产法律。通过改善寻求终止妊娠的孕妇的健康状况,告知她们治疗性流产的指征,并制定适当策略使孕妇更了解合法流产情况,我们可以朝着帮助孕妇并促进其健康迈出重要一步。
