The rapid emergence of nonhospital abortion facilities as alternatives to traditional hospital-based surgical care has raised important questions concerning their safety. Using 1974--1975 data from the Center for Disease Control's nationwide surveillance of abortion mortality and the Alan Guttmacher Institute's nationwide surveys of abortion providers, we have calculated the risk of death from legally induced abortion in the United States at less than or equal to 12 menstrual weeks' gestation in hospitals and nonhospital facilities (clinics and physicians' ofices). The adjusted death-to-case rate for hospitals was 1.1 deaths/100,000 abortions, compared with a crude rate of 1.0 for nonhospital facilities. The risk of death from legal abortion in nonhospital facilities is apparently similar to the risk in hospitals.
作为传统医院手术护理替代方案的非医院堕胎设施迅速涌现，引发了有关其安全性的重要问题。利用疾病控制中心对堕胎死亡率的全国性监测数据以及艾伦·古特马赫研究所对堕胎提供者的全国性调查数据（1974 - 1975年），我们计算了美国在妊娠12周及以内于医院和非医院设施（诊所和医生办公室）进行合法人工流产的死亡风险。医院调整后的每10万例堕胎死亡病例率为1.1例死亡，而非医院设施的粗死亡率为1.0例。非医院设施中合法堕胎的死亡风险显然与医院中的风险相似。
