Copper T 380A intrauterine devices were inserted to nine thousand and nine hundred twenty women by 51 KAVS-member physicians since January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1993. This study was undertaken for the clinical analysis on a total of 9,920
women
wearing Copper T 380A to grasp the effectivness as well as the expulsion rate due to a various side effects.
@ES The following features were the results of the study:
@EN 1. During the twelve months period, from January 1993 to December 1993, the largest number of IUD insertion per one physician is 740 cases and the smallest number 60 cases, the mean 195 cases.
2. After insertion of Copper T 380A, a total of 117 cases were removed the IUD; 81 cases (0.8%) were due to extensive bleeding and 36 cases (.036%) were due to pain. The pregnancy failure rate represented comparatively lower rate, 0.08% (8 cases)
and
the expulsion rate was 0.06% (6 cases).
3. The removal rate of Copper T 380A was different by physicians. The highest removal rate for bleeding was 3.13% and 13 physicians (25.5%) did no experience any bleeding cases.
4. For the removal rate for pain, 30 physicians (58.8%) did not experience any removal of IUD due to pain while 21 physicians (41.2%) removed IUD due to pain: 17 physicians (33.4%) had 0.1-1.5% of removal rate and 4 physicians (7.0%) had 1.6-2.1%
of
removal rate.
5. A total of 43 physicians (84.3%) did not experience any pregnancy failure case while 8 (15.7%) physicians was experienced pregnancy failure rate. Four physicians (7.8%) had 0.1-0.5% of pregnancy failure rate and 4 physicians had 0.6-1.0% of
pregnancy
failure rate.
6. Expulsion rate showed comparatively lower, 0.06% in this study. A total of 45 physicians (88.2%) did not experience any expulsion cases while 6 physicians (11.7%) had expulsion rate with the highest expulsion rate of 2.0%.
