ABORTION. Xxxxxxxxxxx and colleagues (2013) determined the burden of abortion in Malawi in 2009 (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al., 2013). They combined data from two surveys – the health facility and health professional surveys – to estimate the occurrences. They used stratified and systematic random sampling methods to select 269 nationally representative private and public health facilities. One hundred sixty-six facilities that provided post-abortion care (PAC) were included in the study. For one month, trained staff collected data prospectively from clients who attended these PAC facilities. Health care workers providing PAC were also interviewed. Additional data were collected from post-abortion care records, the most recent Housing and Population Census, DHS, and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. The number of post-abortion clients was used to estimate induced abortions by subtracting the expected spontaneous miscarriages. By multiplying a correction factor to women who accessed PAC, the number of women who experienced induced abortions in 2009 was estimated. After estimating the total number of pregnancies (including live births, miscarriages and abortions), unintended pregnancies were estimated using rates from DHS 2010. The study found high abortion rates in Malawi among WCBA; yearly abortion rate (23/1000 women range: 17-30/1000 women), induced abortion ratio (12/100 live births, range: 8-15/100 live births), and complications from unsafe abortion hospital admissions (6.5 per 1,000 women). Furthermore, over a quarter of all women conceived pregnancies (269 per 1,000 women) of which more than half were unintended (52%, 139/1,000 women). These rates are comparable to other low income countries but higher than developed countries (Sedgh G., et al., 2012). The main limitation of the study was determining an appropriate multiplier for estimations, which may bias the results differentially. Nonetheless, the study demonstrated a high occurrence of unintended pregnancies, induced abortions, and hospitalization from unsafe abortion complications in Malawi.
