Clinical Trial Summary

After ethical committee approval and written consent from the patients, this prospective quasi-randomized controlled clinical trial was performed on pregnant women planning to deliver by cesarean section and willing to participate in the study to investigate the value of immediate post placental IUD insertion versus delayed insertion on patient's compliance in Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital (ASUMH).


Description:

- After protocol approval by the ethical committee of the department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University; pregnant woman planning to undergo elective cesarean section in ASUMH were recruited from the antenatal clinic. - Counselling was done about different postpartum contraceptive methods including immediate PPIUD and delayed IUD insertion. - An informed written consent was taken from all participants before enrollment in the study and after explaining the purpose, possible risks and complications. - History taking, examination, and investigations (CBC, follow-up Ultrasound) were done to identify eligible patients according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. - Randomization: Eligible patients were quasi-randomized into 2 groups: Group (A) (PPIUD group): immediate postplacental IUD insertion. Group (B) (delayed insertion group): delayed IUD insertion at the 6th week postpartum visit. Randomization was done through "Alternation" method. - Allocation: the first patient (no.1) was allocated to group (A) and second patient (no.2) to group (B) and so on by ''Alternation method '' till fulfilling the sample size. Procedure: Type of IUD: Model T-shaped Copper 380 A: Safe-load® or Pregna® - Group A (PPIUD group): cesarean section (CS) was performed by experts in post-placental IUD insertion as follows: The IUD was inserted after removal of the placenta and after the uterus had become hemostatic. After initiating closure of the uterine incision, the IUD was placed at the top of uterine fundus manually. Before closing the uterine incision, the strings were placed gently in the lower uterine segment manually. After this was accomplished, the uterine incision closure could be completed. The strings usually descended spontaneously through the cervix during the puerperal period. If the cervix was closed, it would be dilated from above with ring forceps. Strings can be passed through the cervix with ring forceps. If this was done, the surgeon would recheck to make sure IUD remains at the fundus of the uterus prior to closing the uterine incision. Strings can be trimmed at a follow-up visit. Ultrasound was done after the CS to ensure proper placement of the IUD. - Group B (control group) (delayed insertion group): cesarean section was done by expert supervisors, then contacts were taken to arrange for delayed IUD Insertion at the 6th week postpartum visit as follows: IUD was prepared prior to starting procedure. Vaginal speculum was placed then prepared vaginal wall with betadine. Tenaculum was applied at anterior cervical position then uterine sounding was performed. IUD was placed according to package insert, then the threads were cut 2-3 cm from cervical os. Ultrasound was done to ensure proper placement of the IUD. - Follow-up: follow-up visits were conducted at 6, 12months post-insertion (questionnaire, ultrasound, hemoglobin level).

Intervention

Procedure:
postplacental IUD insertion
patients will have immediate postplacental IUD insertion as follows: The IUD is inserted after removal of the placenta and after the uterus has become hemostatic. After initiating closure of the uterine incision, the IUD is placed at the top of uterine fundus manually. Before closing the uterine incision, the strings are placed gently in the lower uterine segment manually. After this is accomplished, the uterine incision closure can be completed. The strings will usually descend spontaneously through the cervix during the puerperal period. If the cervix is closed, it'll be dilated from above with ring forceps. Strings can be passed through the cervix with ring forceps. If this is done, the surgeon will recheck to make sure IUD remains at the fundus of the uterus prior to closing the uterine incision. Strings can be trimmed at a follow-up visit. Ultrasound will be done after the CS to ensure proper placement of the IUD.
delayed IUD insertion
cesarean section will be done, then contacts will be taken to arrange for delayed IUD insertion at the 6th week postpartum visit as follows: Prepare IUD prior to starting procedure Place vaginal speculum then prepare vaginal wall with betadine Apply tenaculum at anterior cervical position then insert and remove uterine sound Place IUD according to package insert then cut threads 2-3 cm from cervical os. Ultrasound will be done to ensure proper placement of the IUD.

1 = Yes 0 = No
at 6 months after the procedure
