Comparative effectiveness of misoprostol plus letrozole versus misoprostol alone for pharmacological abortion: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Key Points
To compare the effectiveness of misoprostol with and without letrozole in pharmacological abortion.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Compared abortion outcomes between two treatment groups
Analyzed side effects associated with the treatments
Letrozole pre-treatment significantly improves the efficacy of misoprostol for abortion
No increase in side effects was observed with the addition of letrozole
Abstract
Letrozole pre-treatment improves medical abortion efficacy, without raising side effects.
