International maternity care monitoring: results of a pretest.

This report gives the preliminary results of a pretest cosponsored by the International Fertility Research Program and the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. It includes data on 33 116 deliveries in 20 maternity centers in Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. The findings are organized around four themes: (a) family formation and reproductive history, (b) family health, (c) management of this delivery and (d) desired family size and family planning practices.

Immediate postpartum insertion of a sutured Lippes Loop.

Use of the sutured Lippes Loop for immediate postpartum insertion was evaluated in 100 volunteers at the Kasr-el-Aini Hospital in Cairo. The intrauterine devices were inserted manually immediately after delivery of the placenta. There was an expulsion rate of 1.2 per 100 women at three months, one case of infection requiring treatment and one removal because of bleeding. One woman became pregnant and expelled the Loop. The two major problems associated with the use of an intrauterine device, high expulsion rate and perforation, were overcome by hand insertion of the Loop.

Clinicopathologic study of fallopian tube closure after single transcervical insertion of quinacrine pellets.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect on tubal closure of intrauterine quinacrine by dose and time from administration. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: Subjects included 33 women of reproductive age who were awaiting hysterectomy for nonmalignant conditions at a Bombay, India medical college. Ten women received 252 mg quinacrine as pellets using a modified Copper-T IUD inserter followed by hysterectomy within 6 weeks, and 23 women received 324 mg quinacrine followed by hysterectomy 6 to 20 weeks post-insertion. Hysterosalpingograms were done before insertion, prior to surgery and on the fresh surgical specimen. The uteri and tubes were subjected to histology studies, including grading of tubal damage. For study of dose, an additional 7 women receiving 100 mg quinacrine (and previously reported) were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Tubal closure rates by hysterosalpingogram and tubal histology. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Tubal closures were directly related to quinacrine dose and length of insertion-hysterectomy interval. For the 252 mg quinacrine dose, 55.0% of intramural tubal segments and 5.9% of isthmic segments showed histologic evidence of closure. For the 324 mg dose, all intramural tubal segments and 58.8% of isthmic segments showed histologic evidence of closure. Clinical conditions, such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding, were associated with lower tubal closure rates. Multivariate discriminant analysis showed quinacrine dose to be more important than quinacrine-hysterectomy interval.
