| Popis: | A comparison of the subjectively measured cervical dilatation and the dilatation measured objectively with a force-sensing instrument connected to metal dilators was made in two studies of cervical treatment prior to first trimester abortion. It was concluded that the subjective method is a sensitive and accurate method of measuring cervical dilatation but does not allow for comparison between different studies where an objective method of measurement should be used. |
