Prostaglandin dose and time to fetal expulsion after intrauterine fetal death at 22 to 28 gestational weeks in Sweden: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Prostaglandin regimens for induction of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) <28 gestational weeks (GW) are unstandardized. We aimed to describe prostaglandin regimens for induction after IUFD and assess association between dose and time to fetal expulsion.
