Is a history of cesarean section a predictive factor for the failure of medical management in spontaneous abortion?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the risk factors for failure of medical treatment for first-trimester spontaneous abortion and the specific role of prior cesarean delivery (CD).
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed data from patients who underwent medical management of first-trimester spontaneous abortion using mifepristone and misoprostol at a tertiary medical center between 2019 and 2022. Data collected included demographic, clinical, and sonographic parameters, with comparisons made between patients with successful and unsuccessful treatment outcomes. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted.
resultsAmong the 716 patients included in the study, treatment failure was observed in 29.5%. In multivariable analysis, prior CD was independently associated with an increased risk of treatment failure (aOR 1.97; 95%CI 1.25-3.12; p = 0.004). Additionally, advanced gestational age was also associated with an increased likelihood of failure (aOR 1.02 per day; 95%CI 1.00-1.03; p = 0.009). In subgroup analyses, patients with prior CD had higher failure rates compared with those without prior CD (43.2% vs 27.4%, p = 0.002). Among patients without prior CD, gestational age > 70 days was associated with higher failure rates compared with ≤ 70 days (35.2% vs 24.3%, p = 0.006). In this subgroup (no prior CD and gestational age ≤ 70 days), the presence of bleeding during treatment was associated with lower failure rates (12.5% vs 25.6%, p = 0.001).
conclusionPrior cesarean delivery was independently associated with an increased risk of treatment failure following medical management of first-trimester spontaneous abortion. Advanced gestational age was also associated with increased failure rates. Further studies are needed to refine treatment protocols and explore approaches for patients with prior CD.
