Objectives:
This study aimed to describe immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception (IPP LARC) insertion rates during delivery hospitalizations at the state level and by payor type.
Study Design:
This is a cross-sectional study of 26 states and District of Columbia using 2020 State Inpatient Database.
Results:
In 2020, IPP LARC insertion rates varied widely by states, ranging from 2.55 to 637.25 per 10,000 deliveries. Rates were higher for deliveries with Medicaid as primary expected payor than with private insurance in all states but District of Columbia.
Conclusions:
Rates of IPP LARC insertion varied in 2020 by state and were higher for deliveries with Medicaid as primary expected payor.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...
Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
Transdermal patches transport drugs...
Additional Routes of Drug Administration
Administering drugs via inhalation allows for the direct delivery of gaseous, volatile substances or droplets to different parts of the respiratory tract. One of the advantages of the inhalation route is the rapid absorption of drugs into the circulatory system, which is possible because of the large surface area of...
