Note: Weeks of gestation is the calculated number of weeks corresponding to the time elapsed since the date of the last regular menstrual period and the date of the abortion. Reports with weeks of gestation not reported are included in the 'Total' row only. Reports with principal procedure not reported are included in the 'Total' column only. The reporting of procedures used has been changed to conform to national recommendations issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In abortions where more than one procedure was performed, the principal procedure was determined according to the following hierachy: hysterectomy/hysterotomy, sharp curettage (D&C), saline injection or prostaglandin, dilation and evacuation, medical (non-surgical), suction curettage, and other procedures.
