Abstract
Summary: The records of all patients on whom a casualty department pregnancy test was performed during the first 4 months of 1986 were retrospectively examined and compared with the records of all patients who in the first 4 months of 1987 had had an instant pregnancy test performed in the same casualty departement, to determine the impact of such a kit on diagnostic accuracy, operative procedures and related economic factors.Keywords
