IUD induced bleeding and the way of therapy.

In a retrospective study containing 2404 cases of IUD induced bleeding problems, the type and timing of bleeding as well as the types of conservative therapy were evaluated. The non-hormonal treatment (uterotonics, calcium, C- and K-vitamin etc.) proved to be significantly less effective (P less than 0.05) than the hormonal therapy (estrogen, gestagen and combined preparations). The rate of effectiveness was 80.1% and 86.7%, respectively. Because the effectiveness of the conservative therapy is 80%, even in the non-hormonal group, the IUD should be removed only if this treatment proves to be ineffective. Attention is drawn to the importance of routine colposcopic and cytological screening.

Effects of hypertensive disorders on the outcome of pregnancy: early findings of maternity care monitoring (MCM) in Debrecen, Hungary.

Debrecen is one of the original testing sites of MCM. This report focuses on all single births having occurred from January, 1978 to June, 1980 (N = 8818). Pregnancy outcome associated with maternal Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy (HDP) shall be set against pregnancy outcome among women with No Primary Antenatal Conditions (Control), the respective sample sizes being N = 540 (HDP) and N = 5, 472 women. The findings are given in four sections: (1) Occurrence of HDP; (2) Characteristics other than presence/absence of HDP; (3) Reproductive experience prior to current delivery; and (4) Maternal and infant outcome for the current delivery. A specific look is also given at smoking during current pregnancy. Special attention is called for the primordial importance of prenatal visits, preventive care and proper obstetrical management. The role of the MCM early warning system is emphasized and broader use of the system and rationale is suggested for objective international and intranational comparisons to improve pregnancy outcome for both the mother and infant.

International cooperation to collect obstetric data.

Reported are preliminary results of an international collection of data initiated by FIGO. Data of 33.000 deliveries in 19 countries, five countries each in South America, Africa, and Asia and four in Europe provided a good basis for comparison and called attention to shortcomings in each individual country and to the need for more progress in obstetric treatment. - Sociological and demographic items in a questionnaire bring into focus the importance of both family planning and sexual education. - The authors consider this data collection a preliminary study for modernisation of Tauffer Statistics.

Two modifications of the intrauterine membrane contraceptive device.

The intrauterine membrane (IUM) is an intrauterine contraceptive device designed to be compliant with a range of uterine shapes and sizes and with transient dimensional changes resulting from uterine motility. This compliance was expected to contribute to low rates for removal due to bleeding and pain, but the use of the IUM resulted in heavy bleeding among its early users. Consequently, two modifications of the device were made to decrease bleeding. One group of IUMs was modified by using ethylene vinyl acetate to provide a high level of lateral compliance and another was modified by using a tissue-compatible Hydron coating in order to decrease the inflammatory response of the endometrium. One hundred of each of these modified IUMs were tested along with 100 of the standard IUMs in a double-blind study conducted at the Noi Klinika in Debrecen, Hungary. The findings of this study suggested that these two modifications did not improve the over-all performance of the IUM.

One year's experience with the Ypsilon-Y IUD.

In 1975, a two-year study designed to test the new Ypsilon IUD was initiated by the Family Planning Center (Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical University), Debrecen, Hungary. From November 1975 through September 1976, Ypsilon-Y intrauterine devices (IUDs) were inserted in 300 women who had not previously used IUDs. The control group consisted of 300 Lippes Loop D users, all of whom were also first-time IUD users. The selection was made by randomization. After one year, the relevant rates (pregnancy, expulsion, medical removals) for the study group were: 3.9, 10.4 and 7.8, respectively. The corresponding values for the Lippes Loop D group were: 2.8, 5.7 and 7.8 per 100 women. Although the pregnancy rate for the control population was lower, the difference was not statistically significant. The frequency of expulsion in the Ypsilon-Y users was higher than that of the Lippes Loop D acceptors, but the difference was not statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The medical removal rates were almost the same in both groups. The total number of bleeding, pain and dysmenorrheic complaints in the two groups were also compared and showed that the Ypsilon-Y users did not report complaints as often as did the women wearing the Lippes Loop D. The difference was statistically significant. The relevant termination rates of the Ypsilon-Y were higher than those for the Lippes Loop D; however, the lower frequency of complaints in the study group suggests that the shape of the Y may be more suitable for the uterine cavity than the Loop D.
