A study of 2447 patients treated for incomplete abortion in three major hospitals in Khartoum, the Sudan, was carried out from 1974 to 1976. Analysis focused particularly on socio-demographic variables, reproductive history and contraceptive behaviour before and after the abortion. This paper presents the epidemiological analysis and reproductive characteristics of these patients in an attempt to show the value of such service oriented research in evaluating clinical problems.
