“…Method continuation in the current study was found to be high (86%) at one year of follow-up which is comparable or better than the 55-82% commonly reported by many other published studies [3,20,[27][28][29][30][31]. Moreover, the most vulnerable period for PPIUD discontinuation was that period after the puerperium to six months of delivery (i.e., 43-180 days) contrary to the period of up to 6 weeks post-delivery that is reported to be critical for IUD related complications and removal in some earlier studies [32,33].…”

Background Less than 1% of married women in Tanzania use an Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUD) for contraception. An initiative by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) has been in progress since 2015 resulting in escalated method uptake in implementing hospitals. This study investigates failure rate, complications, and risk factors for one-year continuation of TCu380A IUD when used for immediate postpartum contraception under the initiative in Tanzania. Methodology A prospective cohort study of women who had TCu380A insertion within 48 h of delivery in 6 hospitals in Tanzania between 1st December 2017 and 18th April 2018 was conducted. Face to face post insertion interviews were made with 1114 clients before discharge and later through phone calls up to the beginning of 13th month postpartum. Postpartum Intrauterine Device (PPIUD) continuation status, complications, duration of time they stayed with the IUD and the currently used method if PPIUD was discontinued were enquired. The outcome variable was PPIUD continuation at one year of IUD insertion. Data were analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions software (SPSS) for Windows version 20 (IBM SPSS Statistics, Chicago, IL, USA). Results In total 511(45.8%)clients had consented and availed to complete the one-year follow-up. Out of these, 440 still had IUD, giving a one-year continuation rate of 86.1%. Most (63%) IUD discontinuations occurred in the period between 7th week and 6 months of insertion. One-year method expulsion rate was 2.1%. There was one reported pregnancy that gives a method failure rate of about 2 per 1000. The independent risk factors in favor of method continuation at one year were absence of medical or social problem, being a youth (16–24 years), and delivery by Cesarean section. Conclusions The continuation rate when CuT380A is used for immediate postpartum contraception is high, with low complication and failure rates. Some medical and social factors are important for method continuation, hence the need to consider in training, counselling and advocacy.

“…Other in uences of discontinuation were abdominal pain, IUD expulsion, and voluntary IUD removal in order to allow pregnancy. Generally, the overall spectrum of complications attributable to PPIUD discontinuation in current study is similar to what is commonly reported by others [20,30].…”

“…Three quarters of the women who discontinued the IUD resorted to Calendar and condom methods which are among the least effective compared to other available modern methods of contraception. Non-use of an effective method after PPIUD discontinuation has been reported by others where up to half of clients did not use an alternative method [30]. This phenomenon could be a re ection of negative attitude towards modern contraception in general rather than being speci c to the IUD, thus, calling for the need to intensify education on postpartum contraception and family planning in general.…”

“…Assim, devido ao baixo número de inserções imediatas, não se mostrou relevante comparar as taxas de expulsão entre os dispositivos inseridos no puerpério imediato e precoce. Deve-se ressaltar que uma inserção no puerpério imediato traz como benefício uma maior taxa de adesão e de continuidade de uso do método (17,29) , bem como reduz o número de gravidez indesejada e aumenta o intervalo entre os filhos (22) .…”

Introdução: Os períodos gestacional e puerperal são ideais para o aconselhamento do planejamento familiar. A Federação Brasileira das Associações de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia (FEBRASGO) aconselha o uso dos dispositivos intrauterinos no puerpério, após o parto transpélvico ou cesárea. A inserção após o parto se divide em imediata (até 10 minutos após a dequitação placentária), precoce (entre 10 minutos e 48 horas de pós-parto) ou tardia (após 4 semanas de pós-parto). Sua principal complicação é a expulsão, e está relacionada ao momento da inserção. Objetivo: Analisar o perfil epidemiológico das participantes e comparar as taxas de expulsão entre dois dispositivos intrauterinos, o DIU-TCu380A e o Sistema Intrauterino Liberador de Levonorgestrel (SIU-LNG), inseridos durante o pós-parto e transcesárea, sob diferentes técnicas e períodos. Métodos: Os dispositivos foram oferecidos a 206 puérperas da Maternidade Victor Ferreira do Amaral de Curitiba - PR, 117 optaram pelo SIU-LNG e 89 pelo DIU-TCu308A. Foram incluídas 155 participantes, 15 (9,67%) inserções ocorreram durante a cesárea e 140 (90,32%) após o parto transpélvico. Após 45 dias da inserção, foi realizada uma avaliação ginecológica e ultrassonográfica do dispositivo. Em relação à inserção após o parto transpélvico, o estudo foi dividido em 4 fases de acordo com a técnica de inserção utilizada. A primeira fase (n: 34; 21,93%) utilizou o aplicador do produto. A segunda (n: 12; 7,74%), utilizou o aplicador com o pinçamento do colo uterino. A terceira (n: 14; 9,03%) utilizou a Pinça Cheron 25cm. E a quarta fase (n: 80; 51,61%), a Pinça Collin Coração Curva 24cm. Resultados: A idade média das participantes foi de 27,1 anos (±5,9) e a paridade 2,1 filhos (±1,1). As taxas de expulsão foram de 44% (n: 15), 42% (n: 5) e 36% (n: 5) nas três primeiras fases, e 13,75% (n: 11) na última fase (p=0,00028). O SIU-LNG apresentou 14,6% de expulsões (n: 7) e o DIU-TCu380A 12,5% (n: 5)(p=0,7751). No pós-parto, a taxa de insucesso de ambos os dispositivos foi de 13,8% (n: 11) e na cesárea de 6,6% (n: 1)(p=0,403). Conclusão: A população estudada apresentou faixa etária entre 21 e 30 anos e possuía até 2 filhos. A maioria (56,2%) estava em união estável e 92% declarou-se satisfeita ou muito satisfeita com o uso do DIU. A técnica de inserção utilizada na fase 4 obteve melhores resultados. As variáveis relacionadas ao tipo de inserção, o tempo de inserção e o dispositivo usado não interferiram na taxa de expulsão.

The Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations advises the intrauterine devices in puerperium after transpelvic delivery or during cesarean. Postpartum insertion is divided into immediate (up to 10 minutes after placental clearance), early (between 10 minutes and 48 hours postpartum) or late (after 4 weeks postpartum). Expulsion is the main complication, and is related to the time of insertion. Objective: Analyze the epidemiological profile and compare the expulsion rates between two intrauterine devices, the IUD-TCu380A and the Levonorgestrel Releasing Intrauterine System (SIU-LNG), inserted during postpartum and transceiver, under different techniques and periods. Methods: The devices were offered to 206 postpartum women of Victor Ferreira do Amaral Maternity of Curitiba - PR, 117 opted for SIU-LNG and 89 for IUD-TCu308A. Were included 155, 15 (9.67%) insertions occurred in cesarean and 140 (90.32%) after transpelvic delivery. After 45 days insertion, was performed a gynecological and ultrasonographic evaluation. The insertion after transpelvic delivery was divided into 4 phases according to the insertion technique. The first phase (n: 34; 21.93%) used the product applicator. The second (n: 12; 7.74%) used the applicator with cervical clamping. The third (n: 14; 9.03%) used Cheron Tweezers 25cm. And the fourth phase (n: 80; 51.61%), Collin Heart Curved Tweezers 24cm. Results: The participants' mean age was 27.1 (±5.9) and parity 2.1 (±1.1). The expulsion rates were 44% (n: 15), 42% (n: 5) and 36% (n: 5) in the first three phases, and 13.75% (n: 11) in the last phase (p=0.00028). SIU-LNG presented 14.6% of expulsions (n: 7) and IUD-TCu380A 12.5% (n: 5) (p=0.7751). Postpartum failure rate was 13.8% (n: 11) and cesarean 6.6% (n: 1) (p=0.403). Conclusion: Approximately 2/3 of women were up to 30 years old and up to 2 children. The insertion technique used in phase 4 obtained better results. Variables related to insertion type, insertion time and the device used did not affect the expulsion rate.Keywords: Epidemiologic studies, Contraception, Postpartum period, Intrauterine devices.
