| Popis: | Introduction: Family planning can avert nearly one-third of maternal deaths and 10% of child mortality when couples space their pregnancies more than two years apart. With increased institutional deliveries, Postpartum Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices (PPIUCD) can play an important role in addressing the unmet needs of spacing methods in India. Moreover, in this digital age, generalised awareness of the female population about contraception has increased considerably, so the acceptance and continuation rate might be high. Aim: To evaluate expulsion and continuation rate of immediate PPIUCDs at a tertiary care hospital in Haryana, India. Materials and Methods: The prospective, hospital-based study was conducted from October 2020 to September 2021 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College, Karnal, Haryana, India. Ninety women who underwent IUCD insertion within 10 minutes of delivery of the placenta were enrolled, irrespective of the mode of delivery. Patients were followed-up at six weeks, three months, and six months. The expulsion and continuation rate of immediate PPIUCD and reasons for removal were studied. Descriptive variables were expressed in percentages. The Chi-square test was used to determine the continuation rate and expulsion/removal rates in vaginal versus cesarean deliveries and a p-value less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: A continuation rate of 84.4% was observed at six months. A statistically significant difference was observed in the continuation rate of participants of vaginal delivery versus caesarean section (82.67% vs 93.33%, p-value |
