Title: Post-placental insertion of IUDs. Author: Aznar R, Reynoso L, Montemayor G, Giner J. Journal: Contracept Deliv Syst; 1980 Apr; 1(2):143-8. PubMed ID: 12336241. Abstract: A study was conducted into the efficacy of high fundal insertion of IUDs immediately postplacental delivery. 1008 women who were delivered at 5 large hospitals in Mexico during 1978 accepted this method of contraception. 5 different types of IUD were inserted by approximately 75 persons (ranging from medical students through interns and residents to certified gynecologists) by 3 different insertion techniques. Age and parity of the acceptors are tabulated. Life table follow-up analysis is used to cover cumulative pregnancy, expulsion, removal and continuation events at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postinsertion. The continuation rate at the end of a year was 61.8 and this rate may rise as the study is completed. There were no differences as to any of these events or in the extent of postinsertion bleeding among the groups using the 5 different devices or with the 3 different techniques. High fundus placement seems to have improved the retention of IUDs inserted immediately after delivery. Rates for accidental pregnancy and medical removal were the same as those obtained with interval IUD insertion. Infection rates did not increase with this timing of insertion. Patient acceptance of this method was high.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
