    Abstract:
    Premature birth, a well-known result of induced abortion in primiparae, was studied on the basis of data obtained at the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Lodz during the period 1981-1985. The test group was comprised of 1494 births out of a total of 15,711 registered births that occurred prematurely. Another 390 births at term were selected from the rest of the cases to form the control group. 14.93% of the test group had had induced abortions as primiparae, while this ratio was only 7.95% in the control group. According to the results of the + - test this difference was statistically significant at the p 0.05 level calling attention to the harmful effect of induced abortion in primiparae (double risk of premature birth). During the process of induced abortion, the cervical orifice of the uterus is often mechanically hurt resulting in insufficiency, thus causing premature birth in the pregnancies that follow. It is mostly young women who are not appropriately cognizant of these facts of risks.
