- Involves a cohort of 595 women over a 12-month follow-up period.
Purpose:
- To report on the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction with three types of IUDs.
- To assess the safety and efficacy of Lippes Loop, Multiload Cu 250, and Nova T.
- To document reasons for IUD removal or discontinuation.
Summary:
- A total of 595 women were enrolled, with follow-up extending to 12 months.
- A high rate of satisfaction was observed, with 547 (92%) women reporting no complaints.
