This study will be conducted in gynae and obstetric department of Akbar Niazi teaching hospital.Patients coming to gynaecology Outpatient department having confirmed diagnosis of missed miscarriage on pelvic ultrasound in first trimester will be enrolled after taking written consent for medical treatment.Patients will be randomly selected for oral or vaginal route of misoprostol,dosage according to international federation of gynaecology and obstetrics protocol. Vaginal dose---800 microgram 3 hourly two doses Sub lingual 600 microgram 3 hourly two doses Patients will be observed for vaginal bleeding and expulsion for 24 hours if no expulsion or vaginal bleeding occurred then dose will be repeated .maximum of two cycles will be given. Failure of treatment confirmed by Ultrasonography will be dealt with surgical evacuation In case of heavy vaginal bleeding or expulsion pelvic USG will be done to confirm.After admission baseline investigation and coagulation studies will be performed . demographic details will be recorded... Patients will be assessed for time taken in complete expulsion of conceptus. No of doses required Need for surgical evacuation Haemorrhage Fall in Hb level Need of blod transfusion Patient satisfaction Side effects of misoprostol like shivering,fever diarrhea and oral ulcers and others EXCLUSION CRITERIA patients who opted for surgical management or expectant management. Gestational age >13 weeks Patients with co-morbidity Sample size: A total of 120 women will be selected for the study, divided into two equal groups of 60 women in each group. The sample size was calculated by WHO sample size calculator with of help of 5% level of significance, 90% power of test, 48% vs. 20% overall complication rate in sub inguinal and vaginal misoprostol groups (???). Statistical analysis: All the collected data will be entered into SPSS v. 21 for analysis. Quantitative data will be presented in the form of mean ± standard deviation. Independent sample t-test will be applied to compare the quantitative variables (like age and gestational age) between both groups. Frequency with percentages will be calculated for qualitative data and chi-square test will be used to compare the qualitative variables (like abortion and complications) between both groups. P-value ≤ 0.05 will be taken as significant. ;
