A Decision Analysis Model of 1-Year Effectiveness of Intended Postplacental Compared With Intended Delayed Postpartum Intrauterine Device Insertion.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To compare, using decision analysis methodology, the 1-year probability of pregnancy after intended postplacental intrauterine device (IUD) insertion with intended delayed insertion at an outpatient postpartum visit (delayed postpartum placement). METHODS:We developed an evidence-based decision model with the primary outcome of 1-year probability of pregnancy. We compared 1-year probability of pregnancy after intended postplacental or intended delayed postpartum IUD placement. We obtained estimates from the literature for the proportions of the following: mode of delivery, successful IUD placement, IUD type, postpartum visit attendance, IUD expulsion, IUD discontinuation, and contraceptive use, choice, and efficacy after IUD discontinuation. We performed sensitivity analyses and a Monte Carlo simulation to account for variations in proportion estimates. RESULTS:One-year probabilities of pregnancy among a theoretical cohort of 2,500,000 women intending to receive a postplacental IUD after vaginal birth and 1,250,000 women intending to receive a postplacental IUD after cesarean birth were 17.3% and 11.2%, respectively; the 1-year probability of pregnancy among a theoretical cohort of 2,500,000 women intending to receive a delayed postpartum IUD was 24.6%. For delayed postpartum IUD placement to have effectiveness equal to postplacental placement, 91.4% of women delivering vaginally and 99.7% of women delivering by cesarean would need to attend postpartum care. Once placed, the effectiveness of postplacental IUDs was lower than that of delayed postpartum IUDs: 1-year probabilities of pregnancy after IUD placement at a vaginal birth, cesarean birth, and an outpatient postpartum visit were 15.4%, 6.6%, and 3.9%, respectively. CONCLUSION:After accounting for factors that affect successful IUD placement and retention, this decision model indicates that intended postplacental IUD insertion results in a lower 1-year probability of pregnancy as compared with intended delayed postpartum IUD insertion.

Project description:ImportanceIntrauterine device (IUD) expulsion increases the risk of unintended pregnancy; how timing of postpartum IUD insertion and breastfeeding are associated with risk of expulsion is relevant to the benefit-risk profile.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of postpartum timing of IUD insertion and breastfeeding status with incidence and risk of IUD expulsion.Design, setting, and participantsThe Association of Perforation and Expulsion of Intrauterine Devices (APEX-IUD) cohort study included women aged 50 years or younger with an IUD insertion between 2001 and 2018. The breastfeeding analysis focused on a subcohort of women at 52 or fewer weeks post partum with known breastfeeding status. The study was conducted using data from electronic health records (EHRs) at 4 research sites with access to EHR: 3 Kaiser Permanente sites (Northern California, Southern California, Washington) and the Regenstrief Institute (Indiana). Data analysis was conducted from June to November 2019.ExposuresTiming of IUD insertion post partum was categorized into discrete time periods: 0 to 3 days, 4 days to 6 or fewer weeks, more than 6 weeks to 14 or fewer weeks, more than 14 weeks to 52 or fewer weeks, and non-post partum (>52 weeks or no evidence of delivery). Breastfeeding status at the time of insertion was determined from clinical records, diagnostic codes, or questionnaires from well-baby visits.Main outcomes and measuresIncidence rates and adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) were estimated using propensity scores to adjust for confounding.ResultsThe full cohort included 326 658 women (mean [SD] age, 32.0 [8.3] years; 38 911 [11.9%] Asian or Pacific Islander; 696 [0.2%] Hispanic Black; 56 180 [17.2%] Hispanic other; 42 501 [13.0%] Hispanic White; 28 323 [8.7%] non-Hispanic Black; 137 102 [42.0%] non-Hispanic White), and the subcohort included 94 817 women. Most IUDs were levonorgestrel-releasing (259 234 [79.4%]). There were 8943 expulsions. The 5-year cumulative incidence of IUD expulsion was highest for insertions 0 to 3 days post partum (10.73%; 95% CI, 9.12%-12.61%) and lowest for insertions more than 6 weeks to 14 or fewer weeks post partum (3.18%; 95% CI, 2.95%-3.42%). Adjusted HRs using women with non-post partum IUD insertion as the referent were 5.34 (95% CI, 4.47-6.39) for those with postpartum insertion at 0 to 3 days; 1.22 (95% CI, 1.05-1.41) for those with postpartum insertion at 4 days to 6 or fewer weeks; 1.06 (95% CI, 0.95-1.18) for those with postpartum insertion at more than 6 to 14 or fewer weeks; and 1.43 (95% CI, 1.29-1.60) for those with postpartum insertion at more than 14 to 52 or fewer weeks. In the subcohort, 5-year cumulative incidence was 3.49% (95% CI, 3.25%-3.73%) for breastfeeding women and 4.57% (95% CI, 4.22%-4.95%) for nonbreastfeeding women; the adjusted HR for breastfeeding vs not breastfeeding was 0.71 (95% CI, 0.64-0.78).Conclusions and relevanceIn this study of real-world data, IUD expulsion was rare but more common with immediate postpartum insertion. Breastfeeding was associated with lower expulsion risk.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral studies have investigated the effectiveness of intrauterine device placement at cesarean delivery as a contraceptive method. However, national-level use and outcomes of a postplacental intrauterine device at cesarean delivery are currently understudied in the United States.ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the trends, characteristics, and outcomes of patients who received a postplacental intrauterine device at cesarean delivery.Study designThis retrospective cohort study used the National Inpatient Sample. The study cohort included patients who underwent cesarean delivery from October 2015 to December 2018. The exclusion criteria included hemorrhage, chorioamnionitis, uterine anomaly, hysterectomy, and permanent surgical sterilization. Eligible cases were grouped on the basis of the use of a postplacental intrauterine device at cesarean delivery. The primary outcome measures were temporal trends and characteristics associated with the use of a postplacental intrauterine device at cesarean delivery, assessed using the generalized estimating equation model in multivariable analysis. The secondary outcome measure was perioperative morbidity (leukocytosis, endometritis, myometritis, and sepsis). Propensity score matching was used to balance the baseline characteristics.ResultsAmong 2,983,978 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 10,145 patients (0.3%) received a postplacental intrauterine device at cesarean delivery. The use of a postplacental intrauterine device increased from 0.1% in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2018 (P<.001). In a multivariable analysis, the use of a postplacental intrauterine device increased by 14% every quarter-year (adjusted odds ratio, 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.15). In addition, (1) patient characteristics of young age, non-White race, obesity, tobacco use, lowest quartile median household income, and insured with Medicaid; (2) hospital characteristics of large bed capacity and urban teaching setting in Northeast region; and (3) pregnancy characteristics of early gestational age at cesarean delivery, hypertensive disease, previous cesarean delivery, multifetal pregnancy, grand multiparity, placenta previa, and nonelective cesarean delivery represented the independent characteristics associated with the use of a postplacental intrauterine device (all P<.05). A regression tree model identified 35 discrete patterns of the use of a postplacental intrauterine device based on 8 factors (time, race or ethnicity, primary expected payer, obesity, hospital bed capacity, hospital teaching status, hospital region, and previous cesarean delivery). There were 9 patterns, representing 8.8% of the study population, exhibiting a use rate of ≥1.0%, whereas there were 7 patterns, representing 16.0% of the study population, exhibiting no use of a postplacental intrauterine device (absolute rate difference from the highest group to the lowest group, 4.7%). In a propensity score-matched model, postplacental intrauterine device placement at cesarean delivery was not associated with increased risk of measured morbidity (any, 1.8% vs 1.7%; odds ratio, 1.06; 95% confidence interval, 0.66-1.69; P=.812), including postpartum endometritis (1.2% vs 1.0%; odds ratio, 1.19; 95% confidence interval, 0.67-2.14; P=.554).ConclusionThe use of a postplacental intrauterine device at cesarean delivery increased significantly in recent years in the United States.

Project description:BackgroundImmediate postpartum levonorgestrel intrauterine device insertion is increasing in frequency in the United States, but few studies have investigated the effect of early placement on breast-feeding outcomes.ObjectiveThis study examined the effect of immediate vs delayed postpartum levonorgestrel intrauterine device insertion on breast-feeding outcomes.Study designWe conducted this noninferiority randomized controlled trial at the University of Utah and the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Centers from February 2014 through March 2016. Eligible women were pregnant and planned to breast-feed, spoke English or Spanish, were aged 18-40 years, and desired a levonorgestrel intrauterine device. Enrolled women were randomized 1:1 to immediate postpartum insertion or delayed insertion at 4-12 weeks' postpartum. Prespecified exclusion criteria included delivery <37.0 weeks' gestational age, chorioamnionitis, postpartum hemorrhage, contraindications to levonorgestrel intrauterine device insertion, and medical complications of pregnancy that could affect breast-feeding. We conducted per-protocol analysis as the primary approach, as it is considered the standard for noninferiority studies; we also report the alternative intent-to-treat analysis. We powered the study for the primary outcome, breast-feeding continuation at 8 weeks, to detect a 15% noninferiority margin between groups, requiring 132 participants in each arm. The secondary study outcome, time to lactogenesis, used a validated measure, and was analyzed by survival analysis and log rank test. We followed up participants for ongoing data collection for 6 months. Only the data analysis team was blinded to the intervention.ResultsWe met the enrollment target with 319 participants, but lost 34 prior to randomization and excluded an additional 26 for medical complications prior to delivery. The final analytic sample included 132 in the immediate group and 127 in the delayed group. Report of any breast-feeding at 8 weeks in the immediate group (79%; 95% confidence interval, 70-86%) was noninferior to that of the delayed group (84%; 95% confidence interval, 76-91%). The 5% difference in breast-feeding continuation at 8 weeks between the groups fell within the noninferiority margin (95% confidence interval, -5.6 to 15%). Time to lactogenesis (mean ± SD) in the immediate group, 65.3 ± 25.7 hours, was noninferior to that of the delayed group, 63.6 ± 21.6 hours. The mean difference between groups was 1.7 hours (95% confidence interval, -4.8 to 8.2 hours), noninferior by log-rank test. A total of 24 intrauterine device expulsions occurred in the immediate group compared to 2 in the delayed group (19% vs 2%, P < .001), consistent with the known higher expulsion rate with immediate vs delayed postpartum intrauterine device insertion. No intrauterine device perforations occurred in either group.ConclusionOur results of noninferior breast-feeding outcomes between women with immediate and delayed postpartum levonorgestrel intrauterine device insertion suggest that immediate postpartum intrauterine device insertion is an acceptable option for women planning to breast-feed and use the levonorgestrel intrauterine device. Expulsion rates are higher with immediate postpartum levonorgestrel intrauterine device insertion compared to delayed insertion, but this disadvantage may be outweighed by the advantages of immediate initiation of contraception. Providers should offer immediate postpartum intrauterine device insertion to breast-feeding women planning to use the levonorgestrel intrauterine device.
