About this study

Official title: Patient Compliance With Long-Acting Reversible Contraception Administration Immediately and Early Postpartum Versus Interval Postpartum

This a randomized control trial to identify if patients who desire LARC are more likely to have success receiving the desired form of contraception if it is placed a) during the postpartum hospital stay, either in the immediate or early postpartum period, versus b) during the interval postpartum period as previously done.

Read the detailed description

Randomized control trial with control group receiving LARC at 6 weeks postpartum and the study group receiving LARC in the immediate or early postpartum period. Outcomes will be measured by those who receive or do not receive LARC either in the hospital after delivery versus 6 weeks postpartum in accordance with the study subjects' randomized designation. Secondary outcomes of bleeding profile and satisfaction will also be assessed.

Conditions

Being tested

Study groups in NCT03305081
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Immediate or early placementExperimentalImmediate or early placement of levonorgestrel IUD, copper IUD, or etonorgestrel sub dermal implant (within 48 hours) postpartum
Receives: Device: Levonorgestrel IUD, copper IUD, etonorgestrel implant
Interval placementActive comparatorInterval (4-6 weeks) postpartum placement of levonorgestrel IUD, copper IUD, or etonorgestrel sub dermal implant
Receives: Device: Levonorgestrel IUD, copper IUD, etonorgestrel implant

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Women With Placement of LARC

    The outcome will be measured by the number of participants with LARC placement. The total number of women who expressed a desire to have postpartum contraception placed and randomized to the appropriate arm will be assessed.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient Satisfaction With Method of LARC Using LARC Survey

    Number of patients satisfied with LARC obtained by LARC survey at 6-weeks, 12-weeks postpartum, and 6 months postpartum. Patients identify Yes/No response via telephone survey asking, "Are you satisfied with this form of contraception?". Satisfaction determined if subject answers "Yes". A single value was calculated at the end of the study by summation at all three time points.

    Measured: 6 Weeks, 12 weeks postpartum, 6 months postpartum
