خلاصه انگلیسی

Purpose The long-term effectiveness of copper-bearing intrauterine device (IUD) has been documented. This paper reports results from a 60-month study on the use of TCu380A IUD among 401 women in Tabriz, Iran. Materials:In 2003, a 5% sample of women who had had an IUD inserted between May 1997 and May 1999 was taken. Analyses of discontinuation employed Tietze net rate life tables. Results :Continuation of TCu380A IUD use by women at 1 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years was 98.2, 89.3, 79.3, 68.3, 57.6, 49.5 and 45.0 per 100, respectively. Among women using the TCu380A IUD, the rate of termination due to pain/bleeding was significantly higher than the rate of termination due to other causes. Overall, two pregnancies were reported within 5 years after insertion. A third pregnancy occurred on Year 6. Conclusion:These findings indicate that family planning educators and health care providers should give more emphasis to counseling programs for women desiring IUD insertion and during follow-up.
