Clinical Trial Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the expulsion rates of copper Intrauterine Devices
(IUDs) placed at time of Cesarean Delivery.
Description:
This was a prospective clinical study with 90 patients undergoing cesarean section. After
delivery of the placenta, a ParaGard® copper T380A IUD was inserted through the hysterotomy
site. IUD placement was confirmed by visualization of the strings at the cervical os or via
ultrasound at the 6 week postpartum visit. Subjects also received a phone call 6 months after
IUD placement to ascertain physician follow-up and patient satisfaction. This telephone call
was to ensure that each subject attended her postpartum visit, had an evaluation of IUD
placement and then we performed a survey. This survey used a Likert Scale to measure each
subject's satisfaction. The fields included very satisfied, satisfied, somewhat satisfied,
neutral, somewhat unsatisfied, unsatisfied and very unsatisfied.
