The effect of illegal abortion on subsequent reproduction was studied in 46 Nigerian women who gave a history of illegal termination of pregnancy. There was a statistically significant increase in the incidences of premature rupture of membranes, premature labour and low birth weight when compared to 53 primigravida who gave no such history of abortion. The perinatal mortality was also significantly higher in the abortion group. In contrast, pre-eclampsia was less common in the abortion group. These findings indicate that illegal abortion has adverse effects on pregnancy outcome in Nigerian women.
对46名有非法终止妊娠史的尼日利亚妇女进行了研究，以探讨非法堕胎对后续生育的影响。与53名无此类堕胎史的初产妇相比，胎膜早破、早产和低出生体重的发生率有统计学意义的增加。堕胎组的围产期死亡率也显著更高。相比之下，先兆子痫在堕胎组中较少见。这些发现表明，非法堕胎对尼日利亚妇女的妊娠结局有不利影响。
