Abstract:
A comparative randomized trial was carried out on two intrauterine contraceptive devices: the Nova-T and the MLCu375. The IUDs were used by 1116 and 1237 women respectively, over a period of 2 years. The reasons for IUD removal were analyzed after one and two years using the life-table method. Statistically significant differences were found in the rates for pregnancy, expulsion and removal for bleeding and/or pain favoring the MLCu375 IUD.
