Anti-D prophylaxis for women up to 13+6 weeks’ gestation: Abortion care

Excerpt

The aim of this review is to determine whether women who are RhD (or D) negative and having an abortion up to and including 13⁺⁶ weeks’ gestation should receive anti-D prophylaxis.

At the time of development, the title of this guideline was ‘Termination of pregnancy’ and this term was used throughout the guideline. In response to comments from stakeholders, the title was changed to ‘Abortion care’ and abortion has been used throughout. Therefore, both terms appear in this evidence report.
