| Methods | Randomised by "blindly picking a sealed number from a box". Treatment allocation was then based on whether the number was odd or even. | |
| Participants | 50 women with intrauterine fetal death at 13‐26 weeks of pregnancy. | |
| Interventions | Vaginal misoprostol 200 mcg 3‐hourly up to a maximum dose of 1200 mcg (n = 25) versus vaginal gemeprost 1 mg 3‐hourly up to a maximum dose of 5 mg (n = 25). | |
| Outcomes | Main outcome ‐ "treatment failure" defined as failure to miscarry within 24 hours, or side‐effects severe enough to preclude use of additional dose of drug. | |
