Background: The relationship between induced abortion and long-term mental health is not clear....We assessed whether having an induced abortion was associated with an increase in the long-term risk of mental health hospitalization....The exposure was induced abortion compared with other pregnancies, and the outcome was hospitalization for a psychiatric disorder, substance use disorder, or suicide attempt over time. We followed patients up to 17 years after the end of pregnancy to identify mental health-related hospitalizations....We calculated hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) for the association between induced abortion and mental health hospitalization, adjusted for pregnancy characteristics.

Background: Second-trimester induced abortion refers to the termination of a pregnancy occurring between 13 and 28 weeks of gestation in Africa. These abortions are particularly concerning due to the heightened risk of complications and maternal mortality....The pooled prevalence of second-trimester induced abortion in Ethiopia was found to be 29.10% (95% CI: 19.96-38.24; I² = 97.84, P < 0.000).

Estimates of the incidence of induced abortion and unintended pregnancies in refugee settings are lacking, limiting efforts to improve sexual and reproductive health services....We adapted the abortion incidence complications method to estimate the incidence of induced abortion and unintended pregnancy among women aged 15-49 years in refugee settlements in Uganda....We draw data from a survey of 102 health facilities providing postabortion care (PAC) services to women and girls across 13 refugee settlements in Uganda and a knowledgeable informant survey of 59 individuals familiar with induced abortion among the refugee population in Uganda....An estimated 4131 PAC cases were due to induced abortion among women in refugee settings. The overall induced abortion incidence rate among women living in refugee settlements in Uganda was 37.3 per 1000 women aged 15-49.
