Long Term Reversible Contraception More Effectively.

A new study titled "Effectiveness of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception" by Winner et al. in the New England Journal of Medicine (May 24, 2012) mentions that about 50% of unwanted pregnancies in the United States related to contraceptive failure, primarily as a result of the use of inconsistent or incorrect.

The researchers noted that the use of long-term reversible contraception (Long-Acting Reversible Contraception / LARC), such as spiral or implant is much more common in developed countries other than the US. Those countries also have the unintended pregnancy rate is lower than the US, where only 5.5% of women using contraception chose spiral (IUD).
The researchers designed a prospective cohort study to assess the use of long-term reversible contraceptive methods as a means to reduce unintended pregnancies. For this analysis, they compared the failure rate among users LARC with other contraceptive users.

Participants in the study were 9,256 women aged 14-45 St. Louis region and at risk of unwanted pregnancy. Each participant received counseling regarding the efficacy, side effects, risks and benefits of all reversible contraceptive method, spiral, implants, injections, pills, transdermal patches and vaginal rings. Each woman was then given the appropriate contraceptive method of choice without charge for two or three years, and participants were allowed to stop or move on another method at any time during the study.
After the initial interview comprehensive, researchers collected data on the use of contraceptives participants, including the start date and cessation, and interview them by telephone at three months, six months and every six months thereafter.

Of the 7486 participants who successfully followed, occurred 334 unwanted pregnancies. Of these, 156 associated with contraceptive failure.
At one, two and three the first year, the number of unwanted pregnancies is higher among pill users, patch and ring than among those who use long-term contraception. The rate on the injections is similar to the long-term contraceptive users.
When stratified by age, the rate of unwanted pregnancies among users of the pill, patch and ring are younger than 21 years of almost two times higher than among the older participants. Failure rate does not vary significantly with age among users inject and long-term contraception.
Overall, participants who use the pill, patch or ring had contraceptive failure risk 20 times higher than those using long-term contraception.
