Type of intrauterine device and the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease.
TL;DR: Only 10% of women wearing an IUD were using the Dalkon Shield, yet they accounted for almost 20% of the excess risk of pelvic inflammatory disease occurring among all the IUD users, which represented a fivefold increase in risk compared to women currently using other types of IUDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
