OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of intramuscular methylergonovine maleate as prophylaxis against excessive bleeding when given after dilation and evacuation (D&E) at 20-24 weeks.
STUDY DESIGN: We performed a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in patients without excessive bleeding requiring intervention after D&E completion. We administered study treatment within one minute of the end of the procedure. We primarily compared outcomes using a composite of indicators of excessive post-procedure blood loss (post-procedure measured blood loss exceeding 125 mL, uterine massage or compression for at least two minutes, administration of additional uterotonic medication, intrauterine balloon tamponade, uterine re-aspiration, blood transfusion, uterine artery embolization, hospital admission for bleeding, or major surgery). Secondary outcomes included individual indicator occurrences, satisfaction, and side effects.
RESULTS: From March 3, 2015 to March 31, 2017, we randomized 284 participants (n = 140 methylergonovine, n = 144 placebo), five before we registered the trial with clinicaltrials.gov. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. The composite outcome occurred in 78 (56%) methylergonovine and 75 (52%) placebo participants (p = 0.5). Methylergonovine recipients required more intrauterine balloon use (n = 20 [14%]) versus placebo (n = 10 [7%]), p = 0.04. We also observed a non-significant trend towards more uterotonic administration (n = 56 [40%] versus n = 43 [30%], p = 0.07) and hospital admissions for bleeding (n = 4 [3%] versus n = 0, p = 0.06) in the methylergonovine group compared to placebo.
CONCLUSION: We observed no improvement in the composite outcome for excessive bleeding with prophylactic post-procedure methylergonovine. In addition, individual excessive bleeding outcomes occurred more frequently in the methylergonovine group, potentially indicating harm with its prophylactic use after D&E.
IMPLICATIONS: When administered prophylactically immediately after dilation and evacuation abortion at 20-24 weeks, methylergonovine increases uterine bleeding. Given the lack of data for effectiveness as a prophylactic agent and our findings indicating harm, we do not recommend its use for post-operative prophylaxis.
