Journal ArticleDOI
Health during prolonged use of levonorgestrel 20 micrograms/d and the copper TCu 380Ag intrauterine contraceptive devices: a multicenter study. International Committee for Contraception Research (ICCR).
Irving Sivin,Janet Stern +1 more
TL;DR: Long-term use of copper or levonorgestrel IUDs is characterized by very low rates of pregnancy and by a low and declining annual incidence of side effects, including pelvic infection and borderline anemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
PROLONGED INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTION: A SEVEN-YEAR RANDOMIZED STUDY OF THE LEVONORGESTREL 20 mcg/DAY (LNg 20) AND THE COPPER T380 Ag IUDS
Irving Sivin,Janet Stern,Elsimar Metzker Coutinho,Carlos E.R. Mattos,Sayed El Mahgoub,Soledad Diaz,Margarita Pavez,Francisco J. Alvarez,Vivian Brache,Francisco Thevenin,Juan José del Coz Díaz,Anibal Faundes,Margarita Díaz,Terence McCarthy,Daniel R. Mishell,Donna Shoupe +15 more
TL;DR: A levonorgestrel-releasing IUD and the Copper T 380Ag IUD were in randomized comparison for seven years in five clinics, representing the most effective reversible contraceptive methods yet studied in long-term randomized trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term contraception with the levonorgestrel 20 mcg/day (LNg 20) and the Copper T 380Ag intrauterine devices: A five-year randomized study
Irving Sivin,Sayed El Mahgoub,Terence McCarthy,Daniel R. Mishell,Donna Shoupe,Francisco J. Alvarez,Vivian Brache,Elvira Jimenez,Juan José del Coz Díaz,Anibal Faundes,Margarita Díaz,Elsimar Metzker Coutinho,Carlos E.R. Mattos,Soledad Diaz,Margarita Pavez,Janet Stern +15 more
TL;DR: These two intrauterine devices are the most effective long-term, reversible IUDs yet reported in the literature and no other contraceptive methods have exhibited such low long- term pregnancy rates in randomized comparative trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
The performance of levonorgestrel rod and Norplant contraceptive implants: a 5 year randomized study
Irving Sivin,Italo Campodonico,Orawan Kiriwat,Pentti Holma,Soledad Diaz,Livia Wan,Arijit Biswas,O. A. C. Viegas,K. El Din Abdalla,Manee Piya Anant,Margarita Pavez,Janet Stern +11 more
TL;DR: With these contraceptives indistinguishable in performance except for ease and speed of removal, LNG rod implants appear to be preferable to Norplant for use through 5 years by virtue of relative ease of removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates and outcomes of planned pregnancy after use of Norplant capsules Norplant II rods or levonorgestrel-releasing or copper TCu 380Ag intrauterine contraceptive devices.
Irving Sivin,Janet Stern,Soledad Diaz,Margarita Pavez,Francisco J. Alvarez,Vivian Brache,Daniel R. Mishell,Maria Lacarra,Terence McCarthy,Pentti Holma,Philip D. Darney,Cynthia Klaisle,Sven-Eric Olsson,Viveca Odlind +13 more
TL;DR: Contraceptive implants releasing 30 micrograms/day of levonorgestrel or intrauterine contraceptive devices releasing 20 microgramS/day or having copper surface areas of 380 mm2 are associated with normal fertility after use for women seeking pregnancy at termination.
