Mean weeks of amenorrhea (WA) at abortion by technique used, 1990-2011(a),(b)
(a) The mean duration of amenorrhea for all abortions was corrected on the basis of the exhaustive figures for surgical and medical abortions by hospital sector (public or private) in the 2002 annual healthcare statistical report (SAE). The proportion of medical abortions is also taken from SAE 2002.

Distribution of induced abortions by weeks of amenorrhea and technique (%), 1997-2011(a)
(a) Numbers are calculated from the proportion of medical abortions on the notification forms and the total number of forms (corrected for under-recording for 1997), and from the proportion of medical abortions and total numbers of abortions recorded in the SAE for 2002 and by DREES for 2005-2011.

Number of abortions per woman, by order and year
Note : For this graph we have adopted DREES estimates of the mean number of abortions per woman from 1991 on (Vilain, 2014). Based on the INED estimates (Table 1), the increase in repeat abortions is more regular over the period, and the levelling-off of second or higher abortions between 1985 and 1995 is less marked. The figures taken from notifications include elective and therapeutic abortions.

Abortion rates by number of previous abortions and time since previous abortion (per 1,000)
Note : Incidence rates calculated as the ratio of order r+1 abortions at time t to order r abortions in year (2011 – t). The rate in the first year, at time 0.5 (two abortions in one year) has been doubled in order to be presented as an annual rate. The figures taken from notifications include elective and therapeutic abortions.

Probability of having a further abortion by number of previous abortions in 2011 and age (%)
Note : The “2002” curve shows probability by age of having a first abortion in 2002, given that in that year there was practically no correlation with the number of previous abortions : in 2002 the curves of probability of repeat abortion by number of previous ones virtually coincided (Rossier et al., 2009).

Lexis diagram for the selection of women in the dataset, Italy, 2004-2007
Note : Arrows represent women who are considered only if they have been interviewed at least twice, in any two consecutive years between 2004 and 2007. Filled rectangles represent the interview periods. Note that, while interviews were spaced 12 months apart on average, they were not actually conducted at the beginning of each year. In this paper, however, for the sake of simplicity, fertility is imputed to the year of the interview : it is therefore convenient to imagine that women were interviewed on December 31. All women’s characteristics, including age, are observed and recorded at the beginning of each year, and, when subject to change, they are updated at every new round of the panel (i.e. they are time-varying).
