K E Y W O R D S: ResultsIn 125 women included in the study, the success rate of misoprostol treatment was 64.8%. There were no significant differences between the groups with successful and failed treatment for cervical length (29.9 ± 9.3 vs. 30.4 ± 6.8 mm, P = 0.75), distance between gestational sac and 'virtual' cervical internal os (23.9 ± 13 vs. 26.6 ± 13 mm, P = 0.26), crown-rump length (8.7 ± 9.7 vs. 6.7 ± 8.6 mm, P = 0.25), or gestational sac diameter (31.3 ± 14 vs. 30.1 ± 15 mm, P = 0.73). ConclusionCervical length does not predict the success of misoprostol treatment of first-trimester pregnancy failure.
