Unintended Live Births Following Second Trimester Pregnancy Termination by Labor Induction.

CONCLUSION: Unintended live birth following labor induction between 16 and 22 weeks' gestation occurs in about 15% of cases; however, the duration of heart beat is <2 hours in the majority of cases. The incidence of live birth was more common in more advanced pregnancies but did not differ by the method of induction or duration of labor. PMID: 30408382 [PubMed]
