Total admitted patients seeking MTP were 450 out of which 93 belonged to High-Risk Group who underwent surgical and medical abortion accordingly.

Cases were evaluated on the basis of high-risk factors- Age, parity, obstetrical and medical illnesses, and interval since last delivery. Results: Out of 93 high-risk cases, 88 cases were of 1st trimester and 5 were of 2nd trimester abortion.

Seventy-one women were of more than 35 yrs, while two were teenagers. 21 women were grand multipara. Women of obstetrical risk were 17 while the rest were having medical illnesses. Conclusion: This study concludes that there are a large number of high-risk groups for MTP again showing unmet need and lack of specialized counseling of HR patients according to their mental and physical condition. Early recognition of pregnancy and timely intervention can be lifesaving in these women and proper contraceptive counseling is required to prevent future pregnancies.Deepali SrivastavaSandeepa Srivastava Pratibha Kumari Deepanshi Srivastava Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokharaarticleabortioncontraceptionsfoetal mortalityhigh-risk pregnanciesmtpMedicineRENAsian Journal of Medical Sciences, Vol 12, Iss 12, Pp 85-90 (2021)
